Three groupware programs to watch
Article Abstract:
Novell's Groupwise XTD, IBM's Lotus Notes and TeamWare's TeamWare workgroup software all have their particular strengths. Novell is giving Groupwise new discussion forum and document management capabilities in addition to the standard address book, notepad, scheduling and e-mail functions. E-mail will now have a 'universal in-box' that displays e-mail, voice mail, faxes and paging in one display. Novell will make Groupware scale more easily to the networks. Notes is the predominate groupware, both in recognition and market share. It has a reputation for difficult installations, but a version 4.0 should remedy that. Notes offers analytic database and strong programming features. A wide variety of third-party add-ons are available for the application. Users buy TeamWare in modules. TeamWare alone offers an imaging capability, and its workflow features are easily understood as well as quite manipulable.

Using WordPerfect's Compare Documents feature
Article Abstract:
WordPerfect's built-in Compare Documents feature prepares a redlined document version illustrating all draft additions and deletions to ensure that all document changes have been properly executed. Users must save all drafts as separate disk files to create redlined drafts, and they must initiate redlined documents by starting with primary drafts. To use the Compare Documents feature in DOS, users must access the WordPerfect document window and open a subsequent document draft. Users must then select the Add Markings option in the Compare Documents Group to illustrate the Compare Documents dialog. Users must also enter the filename and path of the previous draft to be redlined in the Document on Disk text input box. Choosing the Word option in the Compare by Group section is optimal and users must select OK for WordPerfect to display a redlined draft in the current document window.

Personal Assistant in a box?
Article Abstract:
Hammond-Rust Software's $400 Personal Assistant 3.5 is an office management system targeted for small law offices. Personal Assistant features a time and billing module as well as a word processor. Other modules include a contact manager, custom lists, accounting, a list of matters, reports, a timer, intra-office e-mail, an autodialer, calculator and a document generator. The application is network-ready and technical support is available either by phone or e-mail. The application is mouse-intensive and somewhat difficult to navigate. It lacks a data import utility and the modules lack user-defined fields. The features are excellent, but Personal Assistant does not match up to the competition.
