Ease
of use
Zeus

for the most advanced and experienced. Someone new to the Internet
can train and utilize the features that have been proven over and over
again. Zeus works if you do!
Self-Teaching
Train Area

Zeus
now has a “self-learning” feature. Previous versions of Zeus
took hours of training, while the new Zeus takes just a few minutes. It
does not require any prior knowledge of the program.
The
most important feature, in this new version, is “EZ-Train”. “EZ-Train” is a new job area that allows a user to train their robot
in a matter of minutes. Instead of taking hours to train, like the
old Zeus did, it now takes the new user just a few minutes.
All
that is required, to train this new version Zeus, is to enter in a keyword
or phrase matching the type of web site you would like to trade links
with. Zeus then gives you a list of keywords and phrases that match the
type of web sites you want. Check the boxes next to the ones you want, and
in a matter of minutes, your Zeus is trained and ready to find web sites
that match YOUR theme.
It
even seeds your Zeus with it’s initial web sites to visit! You heard it
right! Keyword training and adding URLs has been automated J
The
TRAIN area includes
-
EZ-Trainer
-
Keyword
Manager, which allows you to fine-tune your keywords,
-
Manual
Keyword Manager, which allows you to enter your chosen keywords
manually,
-
Web
Sites To Visit area, which allows you to easily add and delete web
sites you wish Zeus to visit or not.
Program
interface and organization
The
layout, user interface and organization of the new Zeus program, has been
completely redesigned. Zeus now uses an outlook bar, for ease of
operation and organization. This improvement makes it easy to follow
the steps that you need to do, to use Zeus successfully.
Job
area buttons are on the left of the program and structured in the order in
which they are used.
Start
at the top and work your way down the job icons, as you need to do a job.
Each Job area then has it’s own set of Tabs that allow you to easily
navigate to anywhere in the program with just a couple of clicks. Want
something bigger to see it better? Just grab it’s splitter bar and
resize it. Zeus even remembers your custom setup from session to session.
Zeus
now utilizes Complexity groups. A new user starts out in the Easy
Complexity mode. As they become more familiar with the program and
learn its features, one click and they can move up into the Intermediate
Complexity mode. This opens up new features. This change from the old Zeus
saves a beginning user from the confusion that they would have from being
exposed to more advanced features, before they were ready to learn.
Finally, is the Advanced Complexity Mode. This exposes Zeus’ most
advanced features to the user. With the new “User Experience
Level” feature of Complexity Modes, the user is only exposed to Zeus
features that he needs at his present stage of learning.
The
new Zeus has been completely redesigned so that a rank beginner can train
and use Zeus as quickly as an advanced Internet guru. Now it isn’t
even necessary to read the help files. With the old Zeus versions, this
took 16 to 20 hrs. Now one can have a Zeus trained and finding sites in
approximately 30 minutes, no matter what the user’s level of knowledge.
New
Projects

In
the top file menu, Zeus now has a selection under “File” called,
“New Project”. This makes it extremely easy to create new and manage
old databases for each of your web sites.
Zeus
even creates the default directories, folders, email and directory
templates. Setting up for another web site takes a matter of seconds.
There isn’t any limit to the amount of databases that you can manage
from ONE Zeus.
Zeus
even remembers the last 8 databases you have worked with and changing to
another, complete with it’s own separate email messages and templates,
takes one click. This feature is great for those who manage multiple web
sites.

help areas have been completely redesigned.
Zeus
now has a compiled help file available from the top menu bar, with normal
contents, index and favorites features. The old pop-up, help windows
have been practically eliminated and replaced with new built-in,
mouse-over sensitive content. You can now check boxes in the help
windows, if you don't want to see them again.
The
numbers of floating windows have been minimized, the ones left with
selectable float features.
Each
job area has QuickTour viewlets. These teaching animations
enable you to become familiar with the different Zeus jobs, in a matter of
seconds. Over a dozen of these have been incorporated into the
program.

server and makes it easy to set up your FTP settings. Zeus even

All the hassles of FTP settings have now been eliminated.
Templates
Templates
have been made easier to use. Templates for the Link directory,
which allow you to customize your Link directory to match your web site,
can now be used while Zeus is running. Make a change in your
templates and you will immediately see the effect that it has by reviewing
your Link directory and Zeus. Zeus is also now self-fixing, as far
as the linkages go, in your Link directory. If Zeus finds problems,
in your Link Directory, he automatically repairs them or helps you to
repair them.

each web site, which the new Zeus makes easy.

Directory

Click for Larger Screen Shot

The
“Create Directory” area has been completely redesigned. The
first time through, Zeus makes it easy to enter your FTP settings.
After Zeus learns how to locate your web site’s root HTML directory and
has created your Link directory folder for you automatically, under your
control, he then allows you to add the directory and modify it using the
“Link Directory manager”. You then have the option of quickly
previewing exactly what your Link directory will look like.
The
next step is to create your directory. After the directory is
created, Zeus furnishes you a link to click on, to visit your newly
created and uploaded Link directory. Clicking a text box, even puts
the Link into your Windows clipboard. So you can easily add it to
your web sites navigational system.
Database
The
Access database has been upgraded and utilizes state-of-the-art
normalization techniques, relationships and indexes for faster data
retrieval.
Compacting
your access database is now available from the menu bar.
Backing
up your database is also available from the same menu bar.
Zeus
will even remind you to compact and back up your data base if you
haven’t done so in awhile.
When
you shut down the program, Zeus remembers all database and backup dialog
locations, respectively to all the different database projects that you
have. This is one smart Zeus.
Program Code
The
entire program has been redesigned, with a completely different interface.
Much of the code has been streamlined, for faster and more reliable
performance.
Robot
traversing logic has been extremely modified. Link and keyword
extraction has been speeded up as much as 50 times. Many new code
features make Zeus even more stable than it was before. Every bug that has
EVER been reported by ANY user has been addressed in THIS version.

programming abilities. You will quickly see a lot of the new
features coming to the next new versions of Zeus.

modular component design. Overall, this is the most important Zeus
upgrade that we have had in the last five to six years. You will be
