Highlights of Some New and Improved Features

Powergold 2000 is the latest version of the World's First 32-bit music scheduling system.

Standard Windows 95/98/NT user interface

Network Ready. Can handle simultaneous, multi-user access remarkably well. You can install Powergold 2000 in the control room, and other offices, all working in the same Powergold 2000 database. The PD, for example, could make changes to the log from his/her office and the changes can be seen live in the control room. All this with NO extra hardware to buy.

Automatic Point Scaling which means your rules no longer have to be "black and white". Each rule may have as many "shades of gray" as the number of Points you set. This is a MAJOR advantage over every other music scheduling system on the market.
