Abstract

ENABLE is a robust integrated software product featuring five tightly integrated modules—word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, and communications. Each of the modules is a top quality product matching the power and utility of many stand-alone products. It is a remarkably cost effective alternative that should be given serious consideration by any school looking for general purpose software.
