From the editors:

We need material from our readers for more Newsletter articles. Remember, you don't have to be a writer to submit an article - all we need is a description of how you have used Alpha, either to solve a particular problem, or to make life easier for you (or your customer). Or, maybe you have used one of Alpha's lesser-known functions, and would like to share what you've learned. If you have an idea, send it to us. We'll do what's necessary to make it presentable.

And now, if you send us material for an article, we'll send you a free gift sweatshirt from Alpha's Cool Stuff (see below).

Frances Peake and Steve Workings
by Jim Chapman

Frances Peake and Steve Workings, two well-known Alpha Five consultants, have released industry-wide packages. Francie's application, called GroupTrac, helps travel agents book group tours and cruises. Steve's app, CaterSys, serves the catering industry.

Because Alpha Five is so easy to use, yet provides such an extensive list of features it is not unusual to hear of people who have developed a database for their own use who want to market that database to a wider circle within the industry. As you will see, Steve and Francie have teamed up with their clients to do just that. The clients liked Alpha Five; liked what it could do for their business; and actually took the steps to build and market an application others in their industry.
