NEW AND NOTABLE SOFTWARE
* GoBack: Although the idea of taking a step backward is rarely appealing, Wild File has discovered one time when doing so can really help. GoBack ($69.95) lets you take your computer back in time to a point when it was running well- from as little as five minutes to as many as five days in the past. This isn't a back-up program; instead, it recovers files that were accidentally deleted or lost due to virus attacks, software installation problems or system crashes. GoBack runs only on Windows 95/98. More information can be found at www.gobackcom or by calling (888) 945-3345.
* Time Time-n-Measures: Here's an easy-to-use utility that any entrepreneur doing business internationally will appreciate. Time-n-Measures ($34.95) lets users automatically track the date and time for more than 400 cities worldwide, and it accurately converts units of measurement (temperature, weight, volume, area and linear distance) from metric scales to the U.S. standard, or vice versa. This product makes planning transcontinental conference calls a snap. Time-n-Measures runs only on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0. You can download a 10-day evaluation copy from www.qmlsoftware.com or call (805) 681-3200 for more information.
* Design Essentials Business Image: Canon Software Publishing has developed a template-based design application that allows small-office users to easily create a "family" of professionally designed communications materials, such as business cards, letterhead, brochures, newsletters and advertisements. The goal is to free small-business owners from design functions by providing more than 500 complete design suite variations that can be automatically reformatted and adjusted for different materials. Design Essentials Business Image runs only on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0.
