Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 10:22:19 -0500 From: "Mark Dodel" Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: Papyrus, Version X is now available in English! From: "Mark Dodel" "Papyrus Version X is now available in English! ....for all supported operating systems, including: * Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP) * Macintosh (Mac OS X, Version 10.2 or higher) * OS/2 Warp (Version 3, 4) or ECS * TOS / MagiC The English version of Papyrus X is identical (in features) to the German version, and the translation has been newly reviewed and updated (by native language speakers). A revised translation of the R.O.M.-logicware-homepage is also in progress, we appreciate your patience. Although it has been a while since our last English-language release, we have not been idle. Papyrus has undergone constant development (in German) since our last major English-language release, and this development will continue, both for the English and the German version(s). The primary reason for our apparent "sabbatical" was a liability decision by the German Supreme Court, which caused the credit-card companies to cancel their existing vendor agreements. Being unable to accept credit-card payments made it virtually impossible for us to accept international orders. We are back "online" with VISA, and expect Mastercard/Eurocard to follow in the near future. You can find the Papyrus OFFICE English Demo Version here [Moderator Note: this is still the Papyrus OFFICE 8.23 Demo Version. The site states that the "OFFICE X and Macintosh versions coming very soon"] The actual Papyrus prices can be found in our price list (click on the hyperlink). When you are ready to order, follow our link to our secure order form. The Papyrus package includes complete on-line help and a tutorial, a license key file and your personal installation key code. The installation files are compact, and (if needed) would fit on three floppy disks. That is not a joke! Papyrus OFFICE is a powerful, but compact and efficient program: the entire package (word-processor/DTP plus database/spreadsheet) occupies less than 5 MB. Nevertheless, Papyrus OFFICE is a top-quality application, and offers many features not found in other (much larger) application packages. How do we do it? Quite simply, by not including garbage in our programming. Papyrus is the result of over 12 years of continual development. Our carefully maintained code-library includes only useful code, and not a graveyard of junk that nobody can understand or use. This compactness gives Papyrus incredible speed and stability. In addition, because we use tailor the same code-library for all four operating systems, its development history gives Papyrus the same speed and dependability, no matter which operating system you use, be it Windows or Macintosh (or even OS/2 Warp or TOS). An of course, Papyrus documents are freely exchangable between all four systems. Everything you need to install Papyrus will be delivered via internet E-Mail. Note that because of the way e-mail attachments are encoded, your internet e-mail account must be able to accept about 6 MB to receive the installation files. Quite frankly, Papyrus is the best value we have seen available anywhere. After your initial purchase, you are entitled to free updates within the current version level. In other words, buy Version X (10.20) now, and X.5 (10.5) will be delivered free of charge when it is available. Just as with the original purchase, updates are distributed via internet e-mail. Updates are complete new versions (you do not need to keep the old version to install the update). Payment is by credit card: VISA, Mastercard (called "Eurocard" in Europe) or Diner's Club. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept checks - the international check processing fees in Germany are prohibitively expensive. To order now, or to get further information, visit our internet address http://www.papyrus.de (or) http://www.rom-logicware.com send an e-mail to ordersDESPAM at papyrus.de (or) infoDESPAM at rom-logicware.com or you can send a fax to +49-30-49 99 73 72 (from the USA, that's 011-49-30-49 99 73 72) Note that we will never distribute your e-mail address or other personal information to anyone else." -- Warpstock 2003 - San Francisco, California, October 18-19 See the video and presentations: http://www.warpstock.org [Moderator's note: Because of the incredible increase in SPAM lately I will now endeavor to add DESPAM to email addresses in all posts to the News list.
