We are pleased to announce the release of Fireworkz Pro version 2.33.00 as 
a free upgrade for existing users of 2.3x series.  It is available to 
download now on !Store - look in your "My Software".

The new version includes a number of changes including:

     Improved load / save performance on modern systems (helpful on 
     SD-based systems)

     VerityMono font (included) is used where monospaced fonts are 
     presently used on systems that don't have DejaVu Mono already 
     present.  This improves on-screen presentation especially for 
     older computers or those running vanilla RISC OS 5.

     No longer leaves hourglass on exit (thank goodness!)

     Improved documentation and example files - updated content, 
     fixed links and extended function examples

     Correct handling of 2-colour toolbar sprites

     Built using latest tools for improved SWI performance, but still 
     compatible with older systems

Overall this new version should perform faster and look nicer than 
previous versons, whilst fixing some bugs.

Users who qualify for the update can download now on !Store.  We'll also 
have CD versions (can be put on USB stick too, but bring your stick as 
we'll only have larger ones for sale) at the London Show for people 
looking for physical copies.  Existing users can purchase the CD/physical 
edition for a very low cost making it an ideal show-trinket, whilst other 
folks can take advantage of show prices on upgrades/full copies.

Fireworkz Pro 2 is an office suite for RISC OS with word processor, 
spreadsheet and database facilities.  Its spreadsheet elements are 
particularly strong with Excel import/export.  Tabling facilities make it 
ideal for use with DTP packages like Impression/Ovation with data-driven 
"live" tables and charts.  Web/HTML export is also included as well as PDF 
facilities.

The software is supplied with several manuals and many examples, tutorials 
and reference files.

For more information, please look for it on !Store.

Best wishes,

Andrew
