ASCON is a business tool to manage your contact
relationships and track the marketing and sales process.

Up to 65 fields of information can be kept on each contact 
grouped into Phone numbers, Work details, Groups, Internet
details, Money, History and Personal details

Each contact can have an unlimited number of history notes
attached to them and they can belong to any number of groups.

You can track the sales process with simple checkboxes 
which allows you to get quick lists of contacts who have:
- contacted you, but havent asked for prices
- asked for a quote but haven't ordered/purchased
- ordered but havent recieved your product/service
- recieved product, but havent paid

With a single click you can visit the contacts website
or dial their phone number. Phone calls are timed and
logged to the history file.

Special requirements: VB6 runtimes 
(available from Simtel.Net as simvb6-5.zip).
