askSam Updates Free askSam Viewer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jun 15, 2005

Perry, FL -- askSam Systems has released a new version of the askSam Viewer, a free viewer for askSam databases. The askSam Viewer lets users browse and search manuals, catalogs, research notes, legal texts, government regulations, resumes, or any other information distributed in askSam databases.

Users cannot edit or add information with the askSam Viewer. To create or edit databases they require a copy of askSam 6, the popular free-form database software.
