[comp.sys.amiga] The Works! Platinum Edition

dale@ssbell.UUCP (Dale Miller) (01/28/89)

I received a letter from Micro-Systems Software stating:

Dear Registered Customer:

At this time of year, when we are are searching for appropriate holiday
gifts (at reasonable prices!), this offer may be just the thing for
which you are looking.

Our newly release product, The Works! Platinum Edition (5 integrated
programs in one Amiga Starter Kit), has a suggested retail price of
$295.00.  Because you are a valued registered customer of Micro-Systems,
Software, I am personally offering you our newest product at the
following prices:

   registered users of the original The Works!          $95.00
   registered users of three or more MSS programs       $95.00
   registered users of two MSS programs                $125.00
   registered users of one MSS program                 $149.00

Enclosed with the letter was a brochure about the Works! Platinum
Edition giving many facts.

I currently own Organize! v1.00
                Online!   v2.00
                Analyze!  v2.00
                Scribble! v2.00
                Flipside  v1.00
   (Micro-System likes me, I also own Excellence! v1.11)

The 5 packages above are included in the Works!  However, they are said
to be improved?

My questions are:
  1.  Is the works an improvement?
  2.  Is it worthwhile to upgrade by purchasing the Works?

I know the current available versions of the products separately are:
                Organize!  v1.10
                Online!    v2.11
                Analyze!   v2.11
                Scribble!  v2.11
                Flipside!  v1.00
and MSS charges $9.95 to upgrade each one separately.  In the Works both
Online and Scribble are "Platinum Editions" but I do not know if they
are better than the versions listed above?

Please send me any information you have and I will try to summarize it.

Thank You!
