[comp.sys.mac] Farm Software Names Found

eddings@apple.UUCP (Ken Eddings) (12/24/87)

This from the soon-to-be-released 2nd edition of the Vertical Market Business
Directory.  The selections are edited to save space.  Prices range from $395
to $6500, with support and training varying for the different products.

I might take this time to mention the availability of the Solutions Guide 
series.  At this time there are at least two available: Apple Engineering/
Scientific Solutions Guide and the Vertical Market Business Directory.  The
following is from the revision to the Vertical Market edition.  They are listed
on the dealer price list and can be ordered through them (unless they happen to
stock them normally. ;-) )  Prices are around $4 or 5.  Other volumes are 
planned, I know for certain a music directory is planned.  Expect new editions
in a couple of months.

This information is supplied as a service to the (misplaced) request recently
posted on the net.  No warrenty is expressed or implied, your mileage may vary.

If more information is requested, I'll gather it as time allows.  I will try
to get more info on other directories and their publication schedule, prices,
and post when I've gotten it.  Have fun.
