Calamus
IMAGE Applications is the sister company to the "Calamus User" Publications
which has played an important role in supporting Calamus and its
sister programs for a number of years.
We are pleased to announce the conclusion of an agreement with MGI SoftwareInc of Canada whereby IMAGE Applications will become the sole UK distributors of Calamus SL (for TOS-based platforms). This will be effective as from 7 March 1997.
Image Applications will promote Calamus SL as the premier DTP package for Atari and TOS-based emulators. In doing so, we plan a level of support for new and existing Users of Calamus SL which will surpass that provided by previous importers.
We will be supplying the latest version (9/96) of Calamus SL (in English, accompanied by an English manual). The retail price will be set at £199.00 inc VAT, although there will be a special introductory offer at £179.00 which will start as soon as we receive product (which is scheduled before the end of March 1997) and will last for two months thereafter.
The new package is now truly MagiC friendly and, besides the usual fixes and system refinements, it includes a number of new features including:
At this time the complete package structure has yet to be finalised, for the latest information on upgrades. etc please contact Steve Llewellyn, Image Applications.
Naturally, we will be offering an upgrade path for all existing SL Users, which will be available shortly. In addition, unlike previous distributors we intend to offer an upgrade path for anyone using previous versions of Calamus including 1.09/1.09n/S/S2 at a reduced price.
We will be offering a number of additional modules (in English, with English manuals) at prices substantially lower than those previously experienced within the UK. For example, the Line Art Module will retail for £99.00 inc VAT. A full price list is in the course of preparation. In addition to single modules, we plan to offer a number of multi module packages, for example an art package would include: Photo FX, Line Art and the Photoshop and Photo CD drivers. Again, final pricing will be available shortly.
All MGI products will be backed up by an extensive product support programme including a Telephone Helpline and Online support.
Also we plan to release a number of Calamus-related products which have until now been unavailable in the UK. These, we hope, will include DMC's Type editor Type Art and a number of third-party modules.
