BSD SOFTLINK(tm) PRODUCTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY For more information about licensing BSD SpecLink(tm) or BSD CostLink(tm), please call (888) BSD-SOFT or see us on the Internet at www.bsdsoftlink.com. BSD SpecLink is an interactive, "knowledge-based" specification writing and management system. SpecLink is designed to allow the design professional to prepare specs directly on the computer without using word processing. The database is derived from SPECTEXT(r), the Construction Sciences Research Foundation's guide specification product, with modifications to achieve consistency of format and to bring individual sections up to date. Updates to the program and database are supplied to subscribers on a quarterly basis and the updates never overwrite the user's edits. More information about BSD SpecLink is located in the directory PRICING\SPECLINK on the CD-ROM. BSD CostLink is a powerful, easy-to-use professional cost estimating and database management system for construction cost data. It supports user-definable work breakdown structures, project templates, cost categories, contractors, foreign currencies and metric measurements. CostLink provides an easy drag-and-drop interface to commercial databases, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cost database, which is included at no extra cost. CostLink is the Windows successor to BSD's Composer Gold system and a subset of CostLink is licensed to the Department of Defense as MCACES for Windows. More information about BSD CostLink is located in the directory PRICING\COSTLINK on the CD-ROM.
