Beyond basic client scheduling, Architect's Helper [TM] contains powerful
financial extensions, such as the creation of summary or detail statements,
for any historical or current period.  In addition to aggregating all
billable items for an architect, this program will also calculate any add-
on charges.  If selected, this feature will calculate add-on interest and
will then place those charges into newly created activity records, then
upgrade the summarized value during the posting process to reflect these
additional charges.    The period selected by the architect for this
automatic calculation could be either yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily.
To see these financial features, please note selection 4 on the Main
Program Menu:  Revenue/Expense.  Once you select '4', you will then see the
Revenue/Expense Summary Menu and its Help screen.


                  ===== Speed, Power, Ease of Use  =====

Speed, Power, Ease of Use is more than just a phrase that appears within
the program in the exploding graphics Install procedure.  It is my
commitment to you to deliver the best, most stable, high performance
business software available today.

One concrete example of this theme of Speed, Power, Ease of Use is the new
implementation of Alternate Phone Numbers.  To see it, go into the Main
Program Menu, Option 1) Client File.  Once you have selected option 1,
observe the 'G' selection for G)et Client.  Upon your entering the 'G' key,
you will see  the first client record in the test data for Architect's
Helper [TM].  On the bottom right of the screen is this definition of the
function keys for each Client record:


                  F1 = Background    F7 = Flash Report
                  F2 = Tag/Untag     F8 = Dial Phone
                 F3 = Quick Label    F9 = Hang up Phone
                 F4 = Memo           F10 = Detail File
                  F6 = Act Now   ALT F1 = More Phones


Once you select ALT F1, the program presents the "Alternate Phone Number
Options"  Menu.  This feature gives you an additional 20 alternate phone
numbers PER Client.  For each of the 20 phone numbers, you can enter an
area code and a descriptive phrase.   Each description can be up to 40
characters.  In addition to the Client Get screen, this option is also
available in the Activity Add, Activity Get, and Activity Callback screens.
As robust as this new feature is, it requires only 10 characters per client
record, using a Paul Sax-designed variable field PHONE_2 in the main file.

Dear Paul:

Your software program, Architect's Helper [TM], has been most helpful to
our office. It is very well thought out, creatively designed and an
efficient program that we have used for some time now.

Of specific interest to us were the several workshop seminars we conducted
on the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Each seminar included invitations
to approximately three hundred prospective clients.  By using Architect's
Helper [TM], we were able to quickly generate mailing labels and then use
your program to follow up with attendees and then to generate letters to
those who expressed interest in our providing further professional services
for their facilities.

In addition, we have switched over our new business development prospects
to Architect's Helper [TM].  Although we are just in the process of
organizing that information, there is little doubt in my mind that it will
be extremely effective and reduce the amount of time we have to spend with
this important aspect of our overall office.

One of the unique benefits of working with ACS has been the excellent phone
support service that you personally have provided whenever a situation came
up where we needed some help.  To me this is as important as a well done
software package.  Both excellent support and program are combined in
Architect's Helper [TM].

Thanks again for your responsiveness and we hope that you have continued
success in your program development.


Yours very truly,






Brewster Ward, AIA, IFRAA
