       KLEVER COOP: BUSINESS HISTORY

 KLEVER Coop. is a group of programmers, managers and computer designers

 living and working in Moscow. Established in 1988, we've been making

 programs in almost all domains of application software under MS/DOS.

     For two years  we were representing  on  the  Russian  Market  the

  interests of West German Computer Company "Procomp".  We were selling

  and providing service for their hadware (approximate amount  for  the

  first  year  was $200,000).  After a break with them in 1990 (because

  the company could not  support  its  hardware  properly)  we  focused

  mostly  on  Software.  We  also  made  programs  for  Germans before,

  described in the other pages.  As the Germans we interested not  only

  on  Computer  Programs,  we  helped  them in other domains of Russian

  Market( Contracts for Paints,  Trucks,  Yachts,  Metals,  Wood etc.),

  thus  establishing  good  connections  on  most directions.  Our main

  interest is still in software and information services.

     Klever Coop.  is currently a small software company consisting  of

  14 employees. Our software consists mostly of data bases, office auto-

  mation, financial programs, graphics and agricultural programs (Soviet

  Export/Import Licence #CP-1145/2191.) Some of our projects are:

  We work in three main directions:

  1. Data bases. Languages: Pascal and Assembler.

  We have developed our own data base toolbox which has the following

  features :

  - Full graphics support

  - Various data fields possibilities such as virtual editor fields, 

    graphics,  spreadsheets, tables, etc.

  - Various sort/search option possibilities, all kinds of segmented keys,

  indices,  etc.

  - No limit on the size of data;

  - Data bases can be designed for standalone PCs as well as for networks

  (the toolbox supports NOVEL, MSNET, CBISNet, PCMOS-386, Vinesnet, NTNXNet,

  etc.)

  - Import/Export to/from commonly used programs such as Framework, DBASE/

  Clipper, Foxbase, etc.

  - archiving of the data: the size of the data files is 5 times smaller 

    than that of DBase(compared on 43 megs *.DBF file);

  - Original OOP -like input-output technics;

With the help of this toolbox we have already made the following data bases:

  U.T.C  8-terminal system for storing and processing with the data on

  companies(clients) and part-time workers which the company employs 

  according to certain criteria (profession, time, salary, personal data and 

  others).  The program was developed on request and is currently used by

   A.P.L.(Agentur fuer Personal Leasing) in Cologne, West-Germany.

  OPTIMUM - Optimisation of nourishing for domesticated animals (clients

  are 500 factories producing food for animals). The program optimises,

  based  on our original method of multicriterial optimisation, the

  recepts for food  according  to  15  criteria,  including  price,

  energy, and the amount/presence of certain ingredient in the storage

  of the factory).

  T&L - A data base on Russian standards for  pollution  and  poisonous

     materials and  means  of  individual  protection (client is Trade

     Union Institute for Labor Protection)

  XPART. Data Base on pictures, artists, clients and storage used by

  numerous Moscow Galleries of Modern art.

II. We  are also working with graphics programs. We have developed the simple

  but powerful graphics editor DR (Doctor Impression), EDIF (Font Maker),

  GIIN/OUT (PCX/GIF/TIFF conversion programs), etc.

III. The third direction is the developing of system programs:

  KLEVER DIRECTOR has all features of widely used NC(Norton Commander) but

  also  it gives the user the possibility of formatting data disks (incl.  

  720 KByte format for 5,25" DD disks), of copying and deleting entire

  directories and other advantages. 

  KAVE - Utility to view contents of archives(ARC, ZIP, ARJ, ZOO, ICE, LZH)

  KUR  - Utility to search for any file on disk, including archives;

  FOKS - Cataloguing program for disks, including files in archives;

  DOIT - Utility to fullfill any DOS command for a group of files selected

  in Norton Commander;

  KBACKUP - Disk and File backup for programs and data;

  WD - Protocol of everything that happend on a computer since you switched

  it on;

  CHECK DOS - The resident program for DOS-beginners. It gives the user

  information on all programs/commands executable from any given place

  (i.e., the Program works as an on-line spelling check for DOS).

  BOUNCER - Is the system that lets you create your own directories

  protected by individual passwords.

IV. INFORMATION DATA BANKS.

"LABAS" is a Data Base of Russian Commercial Legislation (more than 2500

pages).  Search by number, name, date, and topic of document. Any word

within the document may be searched. The material in this program has

been prepared in cooperation with the Centre of Legal Services (IURUS),

with participation by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia.

KONSUL  is a Data Base on Russian foreign trade contracts.

The author of the contracts is the Director of Arbitration Court

of Russia.

DP is a program for commercial correspondence and clients of a company,

that could be used for direct-mail ads, etc.

MONEY - is a programm for storage and editing of the world's principal

currencies and rouble' rates. You can observe in graphical form the deve-

lopment of currencies. The program has to versions. The bank version is

combined with clients data base of the bank and automaticaly recalculates

money on client's account, bank's free currency balance and prints out

needed document. Foreign trade version is combined with a data base on

Russian export tariff.

NKVD - is a data base on Harmonized Commodities Tariff/SIC codes.



We give full 2-year technical and information support for all our programs.

   - Ministry of Foreign Trade of the USSR, Moscow;

   - Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the USSR, Moscow;

 Current projects.

 CARTE-BLANCHE  - We are currently developping a new version of our

 database for specific use in cataloguing programs for libraries.

 The project is developped for Russian Library of Foreign Literature.

 The tool will have unique intellectual search possibilities as well

 as a new generation data input features.

 We are also developping bilingual word processor for use in various

 American Universities.

 Together with a major newspaper we develop a set of Who-is-who in

 Russia and Republics data bases(government, politics, business and

 culture).

 Together with Library of Foreign Literature we develop a data-base

 on publications/publishing houses in Russia.

 We have 23 dealers selling our programms all over the country.

 People. The Company now consists of 10 people working constantly

 and 8 part-time workers. This is a company privately held by 3 owners:

 Isaac L. Khmelnitsky, finance & administration. Education in construc-

 tion engineering.

 Anatoly I. Khmelnitsky, programming. Education in construction and

 programming(Moscow State University).

 Leonid V. Ivanov, commerce. Education in linguistics (Moscow State

 University).

 Constantly working are 6 programmers and director for advertizing

 Alexander A.Kovalev(education in history of Art, Moscow State Uni-

 versity).

 Programmers are divided in 3 groups: commercial data-bases(in Pascal)

 long-term projects(Pascal and Assembler) and system programms (C and

 Assembler).

 Part-time workers are 3 mailing persons, 4 typists and one person

 working with legal and other documents.



                              INTERESTS

     We are  interested in establishing an International  Software  and

     Information House.  On the Western Market we will propose:

     1. Inexpensive hi-quality software mainly for individual users and

     small businesses.

     2. Independent information on Russia via Data Bases with continuous 

     update (Laws,  Culture, Who's Who, Science)

     3.  Russian/English  translation of special texts for universities

     and companies.

     4. Computer design (Russian Style advertising, new Typefaces etc).,

     as we have a superb team of designers and our own graphic tools.

                         We do not want to :

     1. Emigrate to any western country - there is a work to be done in

     Russia.

     2. Sell  on  Russian Market whatever is sellable for free currency

     and get percentage for that - we are computer professionals.

     3. To work with UNIX,  because MS/DOS  is  really  a  standard  in

     Russia.

     4. To  work  with Microsoft Windows 3.0 as we have plans to create

     better GUI ourselves.
