#Ortho Software
4 messages in this thread
I noted a description of the "Ortho Gardening Software" in library 2 here
in the Forum. However, the file didn't provide any information on how one
goes about obtaining this software. Can anyone advise?
Ortho says they have discontinued their software and have no immediate
plans to introduce others. There are still a few left in retail outlets,
they say, but frankly, there's a lot better garden software out there than
that. National Gardening Magazine will have a review article (by me) of
more than 20 programs in the March 92 issue; the article will probably be
uploaded shortly to one of the Garden Forum libraries. What specifically
do you want and what kind of computer do you use?
Hi,
I've been looking for gardening software myself. A decent database, with
appropriate climate and related information, other cultural stuff, along
with garden record-keeping and maybe hybridizing record-keeping potential
would be nice. I use an IBM-type 386sx, with ample hard drive capacity.
Any suggestions? Or let me know when the article is available.

Judy,
Thanks … I'm just trying to get a feel for what's available, but haven't
settled on specific requirements yet. Ron (Myhr)'s reply pretty much
applies to me also, except I'm using an XT clone as opposed to a '386.
Might be helpful to add a comment to the description of the Ortho file
indicating that the software's no longer being offered, or perhaps to
remove that file altogether (especially if you wouldn't recommend the
software).
