AuctionMan is a PC-based software system for the management of all types of multiple-item auction sales which is just as happy on a desktop as it is on a notebook or a network! It runs on IBM-compatible PCs under Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP and Vista. A printer is required for report (i.e. catalogue, selling sheet, invoice, etc.) printing; e.g. laser, ink-jet, dot matrix.
AuctionMan is suitable for both multi- (network) and single-user (stand-alone) application on network systems such as Windows Networking, Novell Netware, Lantastic and generic networks.
Each PC will need 8MB of free disk space into which to install AuctionMan and 4MB of memory (RAM) to run it.
A demonstration/trial version of AuctionMan is available here for evaluation purposes.
After downloading, run the self-extracting archive program (amTrial.exe) to extract the demonstration files to your hard disk (the default folder \amTrial is recommended).
N.B. The downloaded demonstration/trial file size should be 2,468KB (or 2,527,232 bytes). You may need to download the file a second time if the first download does not grab the entire file.
