                ****   The Pier Shareware CD-ROM   ****
                  ***********************************

      The Pier Exchange (tm) is proud  to present the  HOTTEST  and most
 CURRENT CD-ROMs ever released.  The Pier Shareware CD-ROMs are a series
 of sequential  updated disks containing  the latest Shareware programs.
 All files on the discs are TRULY  the most  CURRENT  files available on
 the market at the time of their release. Unlike other Shareware CD-ROMs
 that claim to have current files,  The Pier Exchange  has  assured this
 with "Smart Date Checking." (S.D.C.)  Such dated files as  FILE_ID.DIZ,
 READ.ME, etc., within the archives are disregarded giving you TRULY the
 latest files.

      The Pier Exchange CD-ROM  Publishing  has  set the  standards  for
 Shareware  CD-ROMs  in  regrades  to the  quality of files one comes to
 expect on  CD-ROMs.  Now  we  would  like to set the standard on CD-ROM
 Access Software!

      Introducing  for the first time on  The Pier Shareware #3, ThePier
 v2.0  High  Performance  CD-ROM  Access  Program.  This  is  not a  GUI
 interface  put  over  v1.0,  but rather  a complete rewrite,  and as a
 result  it is  300%  FASTER  then  version 1.0.  The GUI interface will
 support  EGA or VGA  graphic modes.  There is full  mouse  support with
 pull-down menus.  The  Search  menu will  allow you to  search  ThePier
 database  for  matching file names,  keywords,  or archive content file
 names.  The  viewers  are one of the nicest features of  ThePier.  They
 allow  you to associate  programs with data files  on the  basis of the
 data file extension.  ThePier has a built-in viewer that is used as the
 default viewer  unless you  specify something different.  You will have
 the ability to add additional comments associated with  any file within
 the database. The ability to copy or extract files to  any path, on the
 fly!
