    This month's Living Demo spotlights PC USA, an easy-to-use, computerized
 atlas which provides instant profiles of all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
 Its ability to display a wide variety of statistical information from a
 powerful database in detailed maps and charts makes the program a
 sophisticated tool for business, education, and travel.

    The PC USA Living Demo actually consists of three separate demos.  Of
 course, each of these demos has the "look" of the complete PC USA package, but
 each is a limited-function demo, i.e., certain selections from the extensive
 database have already been made for you.

    You may select any one of the three demos, but Big Blue Disk recommends you
 begin with the first demo on the "Which Type of Demo?" Menu:

    ^1(1) The SELF-RUNNING DEMO^0  --  A fast-paced, "slide-show" overview of
 PC-USA to illustrate for you its structure and capabilities.  Do not try to
 read all of the text material at this time.  Instead, take a broader look at
 titles, headers, menus, options, and general features.  Observe the use of
 highlighting as this "automatic" demo makes its pre-determined selections.

    To CHOOSE this demo, press [1], then RETURN.
    To RUN this demo, press any key at the "Instructions" display.
    To PAUSE during this demo, press any key, or click Left Mouse Button.
    To CONTINUE after a pause, press any key.


    ^1(2) The USER-PACED DEMO^0  --  A self-paced version of the first demo to
 allow you more time to view components on its screens, such as menus, options,
 tables, and other data in the demo. As you go through the demo, keep in mind
 that all selections have already been made; you merely control the speed or
 timing of their selection.

    To CHOOSE this demo, press [2], then RETURN.
    To RUN this demo, press any key at the "Instructions" display.
    To ABORT and EXIT this demo, press <ESC>, or click Right Mouse Button.

    After you have run the first two demos, you will benefit more from the
 third demo:

    ^1(3) The INTERACTIVE DEMO^0  --  A fully-operative, though limited-function, demo of PC USA. Unlike the first two demos, this demo has both the
 "look" and the "feel" of PC USA. In it, you have control over the order and
 timing of the choices, but the range of choices has been limited for the
 purposes of the demo. For example, only the following categories can be
 selected:

    * REGION MAP      --  The Mountain Region
    * GROUP           --  Republican Governors
    * STATE MAP       --  Arizona
    * STATE DATABASE  --  Arizona
    * CITY            --  Tempe, Arizona
    * DATABASE ITEMS  --  Number of Households      Divorces/1000
                          Total Workforce           High School Graduates
                          Property Crime            Egg Production

    NOTE:  All utility selections except "Change Parameters" and "Change
           Colors" have been disabled. Use the HELP option for information
           about these selections.

    To CHOOSE this demo, press [3], then RETURN.
    To RUN this demo, press any key at the "Instructions" display.
    To EXIT this demo, select the QUIT option on top line of screen, then
        the EXIT option.
