Do
I have to purchase upgrades every year? How much are they?
NO. You
can purchase EzStamp updates whenever you want to. We issue them each year
, but you may skip
year(s) with
NO penalty. We will bring you up to date regardless of when your last update
was. Our updates
include the latest
version of the software, new images complete to the current year released
& pricing updates
all for $37.50
US . Other programs charge you $30 - $40 per country & do not even
supply the images. Think
of the cost if
you were to have to pay for updates by the country! One vendor actually
charges $25 each for
US Singles, $25
for US Plate Blocks & $25 for US Plate Number Coils . We feel that
is outrageous!
With EzStamp,
we provide you with the highest quality software at a reasonable cost.
Our update policy
is fair &
we provide you with as much as we can!
Can
I track multiple collections ( i.e. my wife & I have separate collections
)?
YES. EzStamp
allows you to Duplicate any database so that you can keep separate files
for each member of
your family.
You can also use this feature to keep track of your own multiple collections.
Some collectors
like to track
their used & mint in separate files. It all depends on you & how
you collect. EzStamp gives
you the flexibility
& power to do what you want!
Can
I inventory countries that you do not have databases for right now?
YES.With
EzStamp, you can create any new country or database that we currently do
not have. You can also
create topical
databases where no catalogs or databases exist. This is built into EzStamp.
One software vendor
actually charges
for the so called " Basic Edition " which is nothing but an empty shell
which you must fill in ALL
the information!
Keep in mind, that this is INCLUDED in EzStamp. EzStamp , also allows
you to easily add
your own images
for these newly created databases.
Can
I use my own images instead of the ones you supply?
YES. EzStamp
allows you to scan in your own images & link them up to the databases
in several ways. You
can override
the images we supply & display YOUR scanned stamps. You can also add
images for stamps
not listed in
EzStamp. There are no limits imposed by EzStamp. You simply scan in your
images & save them
as standard Windows
bitmap files ( BMP ) & save them in each country's sub folder. This
is explained in detail
in the manual.
We have developed an Image Editing program ( EzImage )that is specifically
designed for stamp
collectors. It
is very user friendly & works with EzStamp. You will be able to scan
in directly from
EzStamp as well
as have many other VERY useful features.
Can
I enter or cross reference to other catalog numbers other than SCOTT or
Minkus?
YES.You
can easily cross reference to other numbering systems such as Michel, Stanley
Gibbons, Yvert & Tellier
and others. We
provide you with several ways to quickly & easily accomplish this.
You can enter the other Catalog
numbers one at
a time as you inventory your collection by entering the numbers in the
AltCat# field. You can actually
rename this filed
to be Gibbons , Yvert etc. as well ( we cannot supply it this way as each
catalog has copyright's on
their names &
cat numbers). A second way to enter cross reference numbers is to
simply build a Text, Tab delimited
text file which
is nothing more than a table of two columns of numbers separated by a TAB
( see below ).
10
24
11
25
12
26
13
27Y
14
28
15
29 ....
You then save
the file to a floppy disk & you can import the whole file into EzStamp
in one shot! Thousands of our
users have built
these files & freely share amongst themselves!
Once you have
the cross reference numbers in EzStamp, you will be able to search, sort,
enter & report by the other
numbering systems.
This allows you great flexibility & power.
Importing/Converting
Data From Other Programs

requests from customers to convert their data from other programs. If you
