4. NEW FEATURES:

The following is a partial list of enhancements provided by this version of CLIMEX.

(a) Map projections are now available for maps by choosing the required projection when creating the map in the MapManager.

(b) The daydegree-based Heat Stress now uses DV2 as the threshold for the daydegree calculation.

(c) The values of the moisture model parameters (Maximum Soil Storage and Evapotranspiration Coefficient) can now be changed by the user.

Busy Baby claims to occupy infants keen to use the keyboard just like their parents. When the player strikes a key, the colours and shapes change and the program names the object. You can also record your own voice so that the child learns colours, shapes, letters, numbers and more, while hearing a familiar voice coming from the computer. Young players will still need laptop support though.
