Hyatt Legal Services' Home Lawyer, Nolo Press' WillMaker 4.0 and Harsand Press' Make Your Paycheck Last are three software packages that offer great help in personal finance. The $99 Home Lawyer, which is widely available for $69, is based on the master documents of Hyatt Legal Services and relies on an on-screen interface to put together and print a wide variety of legal documents including wills, various powers of attorney, revocation of note, bills of sale, employment agreement, independent contractor agreement and demand for money owed.

Spotlight is on software at show
Article Abstract:
Software publishers receive more attention at Comdex, which reflects the troubles that continue to plague manufacturers of microcomputers. Among the 900 companies showing products (the same number of exhibitors as in 1990) at the four-day show ending Thursday, May 23, 1991, there are 70 percent more software publishers than there were last year. In the past, hardware manufacturers have tended to dominate the show, but this year, software companies have an opportunity to exploit the hardware capabilities already in place. IBM, Microsoft and Lotus Development are among companies that are introducing software products that can take advantage of existing fast, powerful hardware configurations.
