The last English language version, 8.23, was released in 2000. However, since then there has been continuisg development of the German language versions. They are now at version 11.09 for Windows and MAC, and version 10 for TOS and OS/2. Recently the English pages of their website announced that the English language Version of Papyrus XI was now available. I looked at the secure order page, and since it appeared that the OS/2 version was available, I put in an order. I have just received the following reply from Michael Kilby, of Papyrus: "Please accept my apologies for a technical error on my part. "Ulli Ramps (our CEO) and I are still in the process of deciding whether or not we will release Papyrus XI for OS/2 (or possibly just version 10 in English). Because of this, I had removed all references to OS/2 in the current price list. Unfortunately, I neglected to comment out the matching lines in the order form. We appreciate your order, and will keep it on file while we work with our programmers on a final decision (within the next few weeks). The number of information requests (and especially confirmed orders) will be an important factor for our release decision. While there was a large amount of potential 'interest' in the last OS/2 version we released, the resulting number of actual orders was very disappointing..." So, if enough expressions of interest are received, it appears likely that the OS/2 version will alse be released in English. -- Warpstock 2005 - Hershey, Pennsylvania, Oct. 6-9 http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe 2005 - Dresden, Germany, Nov. 18-20 http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
