CHEMPUTE SOFTWARE - MAY 2005 NEWSLETTER
==========================================

2005 CHEMPUTE SOFTWARE CATALOG / DEMO DISK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our updated 2005 Software Catalog is due to be shipped out in June. This contains information on all our software products, together with screen shots, and hardware requirements. We are also sending out 2005 Demo DVD's. Due to the increase in size of most of the software demos, these no longer fit onto a single CD-ROM disk. DVD format gives us over 6 times the capacity of CD format, and allows us to include a lot more information than before. Besides updated demo versions of our software products, the DVD also includes product brochures, multimedia presentations, free utility software, pricelists, and an electronic version of our catalog (PDF format). DVD-ROM drives are very inexpensive these days, so we suggest that you install one on your computer if you don't already have easy access to one via your network.

PRICE INCREASE - FATHOM/ARROW/IMPULSE/MERCURY/CHEMPAK/STEAMCALC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note that from 1st July, 2005, prices on AFT software products will be increasing. However, the new pricing will now include 12 months of updates/support instead of 6 months. Network licence and global licence pricing will increase quite substantially to match the benefits to the end user in terms of shareability of the software. However, for those users that retain/renew their AFT software maintenance agreements, network/global licence pricing will remain the same until end 2006. This is an excellent incentive to keep your maintenance agreements up to date!!
