Trial lawyer's guide to CompuServe
Article Abstract:
CompuServe offers a number of resources of interest to trail lawyers. Like other CompuServe forums, the legal forum LAWSIG is divided into sections for messages, conferencing, member directories and libraries. In the directories, members enter information such as their areas of expertise and their interests. By conducting a free word search, lawyers can find others with the expertise they need. CompuServe also offers an outstanding selection of databases. The Executive News Service lets users set their own parameters for searches on a variety of news wires. The selected clippings are then delivered to the users' files. The Knowledge index is made up of dialog databases that may be searched for $21 an hour, a bargain compared to the $150 per hour frequently charged by the database vendors. Each database focuses on a particular speciality and includes some full-text data along with the bibliographic information.

New Amicus upgrade
Article Abstract:
Gavel and Gown Software's $399 Amicus Attorney Pro is an excellent upgrade to Amicus Attorney and will make legal practice management much easier. Amicus Attorney Pro allows users to display lists of all file types in the Files module. Amicus Pro also allows users to use various Windows dialog features to develop elaborate custom pages for several file types, and it includes a variety of configured custom pages. The application features intelligent assistance, enhanced searches and finds and document assembly. Amicus Pro provides completely customizable lists of priorities, categories of events, billing rates, billing categories and client business types. Users who enter an ampersand in time entry prior to printing their time sheets, however, will find that the ampersand does not print and that the character following the ampersand is underlined.

Corel Web site creator
Article Abstract:
Corel's $299 WebMaster Suite offers experienced Web page designers a sophisticated collection of applications but is inappropriate for beginners. Designers with Web graphics and editing knowledge will benefit form the tool's Web site management features. WebMaster facilitates excellent Web pages but its tools are slightly too advanced for average users. WebMaster Suite includes Web.SiteManager, Web.Designer, Web.PhotoPaint, Web.Draw, Web.Data, Web.Move, Web.World and Web.Gallery. WebMaster's applications, however, are duplicative and difficult to integrate. For example, users can employ either Web.PhotoPaint or Web.Move to create and edit animated graphics. And although users can initiate Web pages with either Web.SiteManager or Web.Designer, both products offer buttons, styles and images that are difficult to access in the other product.
