                       PAYROLL USA INFORMATION
                       =======================

        This product has been distributed in the ShareWare 
marketplace since 1986 and for that reason all the documentation is 
on disk.  Purchase price (Registration) is U.S. $149.95 and the 
annual upgrade fee is U.S. $75.00.    We include the first year's
upgrade with the registration, example register in 1992 and get 1993 
free. Upgrades include changes to Federal Taxes and W-2 forms plus 
any other enhancements made that year.  State Taxes are user 
configurable. 

        The low price is because of the marketing method as there 
are no middlemen or expensive point of sale packaging.  It does NOT 
indicate a stripped down or inferior system.  If you try out the 
PAYROLL USA system you will find it has a full set of features that 
exceed most of its competitors. Because we are a small company, 
users who telephone for technical support also have the advantage of 
speaking directly to the person who wrote the program (myself). 

        Although we are located in Canada, U.S. customers can deal 
with us in exactly the same way as a U.S. company.  Regular company 
or personal checks are accepted and disks can be mailed or sent
overnight by Federal Express.  There are no U.S. Customs duties or 
taxes on Canadian computer software. 

        The following is a summary of what I see as the main points 
that make PAYROLL USA stand out from other payroll systems for the 
IBM PC and 286/386/486 compatibles.
