                                 FileControl
                                 -----------

    Thank you for deciding to take a look at FileControl.  There are versions
for both 1-2-3 and for Excel.

    Please read the documentation before attempting to use or install.  Also,
instead of printing out CTRL123.TXT or CTRLEXCL.TXT, which are ASCII files,
run EXCELDOC.EXE or 123DOC.EXE, which will create CTRLEXCL.DOC and
CTRL123.DOC, which is the documentation in Microsoft Word 2 for Windows.  This
documentation has better graphics and key need to know items are highlighted.
Also, this documentation has an extensive table of contents to help you
quickly find what you're interested.  And, if you have Ami Pro or WordPerfect
you can import these files and print them out.

    AND TO REINFORCE ONE OF THE COMMENTS IN THE DOCUMENTATION, TO MAXIMIZE THE
BENEFIT OF FileControl, DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM MEMORY ONCE YOU LOAD THE
SPREADSHEET INTO EXCEL OR 1-2-3.  YOU'LL USE FileControl FAR MORE OFTEN THIS
WAY AND GET FAR MORE BENEFIT FROM IT.

    The files that make up FileControl are listed below.  The files are being
distributed in compressed format.  The naming convention of the ZIP file is:

               CTRL-Lxx.ZIP     for the Lotus 1-2-3 version
               CTRL-Exx.ZIP     for the Excel version

where the x's are replaced with the version of FileControl for Lotus 1-2-3
and Excel respectively.  Thus you can tell from the title if the version you
are using is different from another that may be on your bulletin board.

        For the 1-2-3 version of FileControl the files are:

        FILECTRL.WK3    - The 1-2-3 worksheet for FileControl

                        - CTRL123.DOC created when un-compressed.

                      REGISTERING YOUR COPY OF FileControl
                      ------------------------------------

    When you register your copy of FileControl, Macro Systems will send you a
registration code that will eliminate the shareware screens that show up when
you run FileControl, and allow you to use FileControl beyond the evaluation
period.  Also, this registration code will work with both the Excel and 1-2-3
versions.  SO, YOU ARE GETTING A TWO FOR ONE DEAL when you register!  New
releases for Excel 5 and Lotus 4 for DOS are planned (the current versions
should run in these new releases).  The registration code will work with these
when they are released.

    Register your copy of FileControl by sending the form below along with
your payment to:

                     Macro Systems
                     1008 Lawndale Road
                     Wilmington, DE 19810

    You may pay by check, cash, or credit card (Visa or MasterCard).  If you
are paying from outside the U.S., you may pay only by cash, credit card, by a
check drawn on a U.S. bank or by an international money order.

    Credit card orders may be faxed to 302-475-0142.

    CompuServe members may pay the registration fee by typing GO SWREG and
searching for 'FileControl'.

    Payment by check is strongly preferred as a credit card order costs
about 30% of the registration fee to be processed by a fulfillment service.
Also, your order can be processed faster.
