About Vineyard
--------------
The Visual Information Manager for Workgroups(tm)

Vineyard creates a new way of managing the shared information and 
documents of a workgroup. Information can be versatilely refined, 
classified and made available to all users of the system 
effectively, safely and lucidly. The program contains a contact 
database, document management, word processing, a spreadsheet, drag-
and-drop electronic mail, conferencing, and versatile search and 
reporting capabilities.

One of the simplest applications of Vineyard is the workgroup's 
contact database, used for printing address labels, mailing lists, 
etc. As all information is shared, additions and modifications are 
visible to all members of the workgroup simultaneously.

For advanced applications, Vineyard offers a powerful platform for 
documenting projects and the connections between customers, 
partners, memos, calculations and other objects using an 
illustrative graphical view of entities and the links between them. 
As Vineyard supports all major Windows applications like Microsoft 
Excel and Word for Windows, their features can also be taken 
advantage of while enjoying the benefits of a true workgroup 
environment. Your existing documents will benefit from the features 
Vineyard facilitates: long, descriptive names; categories; folders; 
free-form text notes attached to each icon; and linking any document 
with the projects, contact persons and other objects it is related 
with.

Vineyard is compatible with all major networks and utilizes 
client/server architecture. The most important feature of the 
program is the totally transparent information sharing among the 
members of a workgroup. Vineyard is one of the first client/server 
database applications compatible with Windows for Workgroups. In 
this environment, Vineyard server doesn't need a dedicated server to 
to run on, as one of the workstations can act as both a server and a 
client.

We hope you'll enjoy Vineyard and the world of possibilities it 
opens!
