DC Xtract 2.0 Demo Version - "Throw Away Your ARC Shell!"
--------------------------------------------------------
Program by Paul W. Lee
(C) Copyright 1990 Double Click Software
A revolutionary new tool for manipulating archives with a user interface
unlike any other on the Atari ST computer!
DC Xtract 2.0 is much more than a file archive extractor. It is now an
archive extractor and creator! And since it is 100% assembly language,
it really cruises like no other program.
The greatest asset of DC Xtract 2.0 is the simple fact that _all_ archive
formats you need are supported in one friendly, easy-to-use program.
Throw away your ARC shell!
Not only are all formats available in an all-in-one program, but
DC Xtract 2.0 offers you a "point and click" interface completely unlike
any other archive manipulator on the Atari ST computer.
Judge for yourself! See how easy DC Xtract 2.0 is to use and you'll wonder
how you've managed to get this far without it.
=========================
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!
=========================
Many other companies would charge you full price for just this 'GEM' of a
program, but Double Click Software stands for quality without the high price.
Where can you get DC Xtract 2.0?
Not on its own, but in the *all new* DC UTILITIES version 2.0!
That's right, you get this program and six others!!!

DC Squish 1.4 Demo Version
Program by Keith Gerdes
(C) Copyright 1989-1990 Double Click Software
How many times have you deleted files from your hard disk in order to get
some space back? How many program disks have you cleared out looking to
squeeze your new 'useful' programs onto them?
If you're like us, it happens at least once a week.
Well, now you can save disk space (and time!) without deleting your files.
DC Squish 1.4 compresses your programs (.PRG, .APP, .TOS, .TTP) and your
desk accessories. That's right, desk accessories. You can even SQUISH
your AUTO programs.
DC Squish is 100% guaranteed to be 100% compatible with 100% of all the
programs or desk accessories you Squish!
Absolutely no other executable program compresser is as versatile or
robust as DC Squish. NONE!
And, not only will DC Squish save you disk space, but it will also make
your programs load faster.
DC Squish uses a technique which bypasses the _slow_ system memory clear
routine (on a file-by-file basis, no resident program required!) so your
programs load in _way_ faster.
And! The DC Squish unSquishing of a file is absolutely incredibly very
FAST! Speed is the name of the game!
Add it up:
Excellent compression
+ Save disk space
+ Save load time
+ Squish desk accessories
+ 100% compatible
+ Easy-to-use
+ Batch mode
+ Converts PACKed files automagically
+ Even more!
---------------------------------------
= DC Squish v1.4
Yet another program which could be sold completely on its own!
======================
DC UTILITIES 2.0
======================
So, not only do you get DC Xtract 2.0 and DC Squish, but you also get all
of the upgraded DC Utilties and new programs:
DC Xtract 2.0 - an incredible new standard for archive manipulation. Now
ARC, LZH, ZIP and ZOO extraction and creation are in one easy-to-use
program. A new standard for user handling of archives, the "point and
click" interface allows you to descend subdirectories or archives
within archives. This is it! Throw away your ARC shell!
DC Squish 1.4 - now compresses executables better than ARC and still leaves
them executable. Unlike any other pack program, DC SQUISH is guaranteed
to be 100% compatible with all programs and desk accessories! That's
_right_ DC Squish does DESK ACCESSORIES! Also, your programs and desk
accessories load much faster! And DC Squish automatically converts
PACKed programs to DC Squish format. This program is worth the
price of the disk alone! You can easily recover MEGABYTES of disk
space with DC SQUISH!
DC Deskey 3.0 - assign program menus keystrokes, replace program function
keys with your own, execute menu commands automatically when you enter
a program! Makes programs 'Expert Friendly'. You can't realize the
power of this versatile desk accessory until you start using it. Key
assignments are automatically loaded for every different program and
all key strokes are assignable, giving you nearly 2000 keystrokes for
each program!
DC SEA 2.0 - Now creates self-extracting ARC, LZH, ZIP and ZOO files! And
now you can restore the archives from the self-extracting program. This
utility is so good, ST Informer and STart magazines use it on their
monthly disks! Another assembly jewel, DC SEA is FAST!
DC Freeze Frame - Screen dump to Degas, Degas compressed or NEOchrome format
to a directory of your choosing. Desk accessory or program mode!
DC Ramit - Is any RAMdisk faster than another? You bet! We've tested
DC RAMit against a dozen other RAMdisks and DC RAMit beats them hands down!
Not only that, but you can make the RAMdisk look like a floppy. Many
more options available!
DC Desk Organizer - Make your DESKTOP.INF files executable so you can just
double click on the program and instantly change your desktop layout.
Many of these programs are deserving of their own package, but you get them
all for one low price!
