Time Matters 3.0 Adds E-mail

DATA.TXT CORP., of Cary, N.C., has debuted Time Matters 3.0 for Windows 95/98/NT/2000.

The upgrade is available in three new editions: personal, professional, and enterprise.

New features include e-mail, mail tracking, phone center, Web research, billing and expense, and matter management software, as well as a QuickBooks link, the company says.

The personal edition is aimed at users who do not need networking and links to other software, says the company. (However, it does link to Palm organizers). The professional edition offers networking and links; the enterprise version runs on the Microsoft SQL Server Version 7 Database, explains DATA.TXT.

Using the 32-bit software, lawyers and other professionals can process e-mail automatically to client and matter files; and an enhanced Timeslips 9 link synchronizes Timeslips custom fields, according to the company.

Another new feature is "Personal Journal," a personal information manager.

The built-in billing and expense tracking feature now accepts American Bar Association UTBMS codes. Document management functions have been improved to rival standalone programs, with direct scanning, sorting, indexing and more, declares DATA.TXT.
