That might be used in a church.
Data collected by Designs and Ideas, Inc.

If you wish, there is a printable version in PDF format.

If you don't find what you need here, there is another site that has a list of software.

All the data here is from our experiences (quite limited) and from information on the authors' web sites.

So, on to the details of how to read the table.



For more information on any of the products, visit the author's web site. Many of them have an e-mail address for questions and help.
