TWO MORE FROM MICHTRON

Print any text file, from program listings to online user manuals to BBS data, with Mi-Print ($29.35). Mi-Print gives you command over paper size, margins, headers, page numbers, pitch and line numbers, and it remembers the control codes and automatically sets up the printer to use the selected modes. Mi-Print can also be used as a typewriter, so you don't need to use a word processor for small jobs like addressing envelopes or writing short letters. Mi-Print can also list every file on a disk, including those in subfolders.

Your Financial Future ($39.95) gives you more control over your money matters. You can find where your finances stand and what direction they're taking, and determine the long-term effects of inflation on your current balance and the potential income you might receive on interest-hearing investments.

Everything is under your control, from puck speed to the skill level to the amount of sawdust on the table. ST- Shuffleboard supports all GEM features including moving windows, desk accessories and pull-down menus. Color monitor required.
