ABOUT THE WinHelp 'NEW PRODUCT NEWS' ARCHIVES FROM BAKER ENTERPRISES
The files in this directory are monthly news archive files from our
New Product News electronic newswire service covering the PC and
Macintosh markets (see below for more details). Additional news files
are also included from various trade shows, where the news volume warrants
separating the data from the normal monthly news. Besides these hypertext
WinHelp file collectionsfor Windows, copies of the same news articles are
also available in standard ASCII text file collections in the MSDOS/BAKERNWS
subdirectory.
The WinHelp news files here use a standard filename format of: WNWSyymm.ZIP
where 'yymm' represents the year and month the news files were distributed.
WinHelp news files from trade shows use a similar naming convention and
generally start with a 'W' character to indicate the WinHelp format.
To use this package, unzip the NEWSyymm.HLP WinHelp file from the .ZIP
archive. Then simply locate the same .HLP file using the Windows File Manager
and double click on the filename to activate. This assumes you have the
.HLP filename associated with the WinHelp facility. If you have troubles,
check the Windows documentation on how to make this association. Once
started, use the standard WinHelp facilities to browse through and read
or print the included news articles, add your own annotations, etc. Use
the SEARCH feature to find articles listed by company name. Additional
information is provided by a README.TXT file within the package and by
several informational screens accessible from the starting page of the
WinHelp file.
The news articles are grouped into the following product categories:
Software - Business/Productivity
Professional/Engineering
System/Utilities
Personal/Educational
Games
Macintosh Specific
Miscelaneous
Hardware - Systems
Expansion (boards, etc)
Peripherals
Macintosh Specific
Miscelaneous
General News
Publications (books, audio/videos, etc.)
All data is from our electronic newswire service that currently appears
daily on America Online (keyword=New Products) and Delphi (GO COMPUTING
PRODUCT); plus weekly via affiliated local BBS services. Any local BBS,
corporate networks, or other organizations interested in carrying our
weekly "New Product News" can contact BBS Press Service at the address

Note that there is *NO CHARGE* to any company/author submitting press
releases or other information for our distribution. If you offer a
product or service to the PC/Macintosh markets (including Shareware
products), let us help tell the world about it!
All company and product information is also cataloged in our PC Vendor
Database that appears in our area on America Online. The same data is
distributed monthly on diskette via EMS Professional Software as their
PC Products Database ($25 + $5 S&H within the USA, see below for address).
The database lists tens-of-thousands of products, companies and authors;
including commercial and shareware software products, hardware, peripherials,
accessories, books, publications, etc. with addresses, phone numbers,
E-mail addresses, Internet ftp/www/gopher pointers, and more.
Please address all news & database submissions, -or- inquiries concerning
using our news or database information for other applications, directly
