- The number for NewEra/Tactic is now (407) 832-6691. They had to relocate
- after hurricane Andrew pretty much wiped out their offices.

- -> Just FYI, Tactic Software isn't the developer of nuBase Pro. I believe
- -> the
- -> developer is New Era Software, based in Tallahassee, Florida.
-
- OK, this stuff confused me too, especially after I placed an order for the
- upgrade to the latest version of nuBASE with New Era and was charged for the
- order by Tactic! This is the story from Dean Meyers, himself: Olduvai
- bought out all products marketed/made by Tactic, but they did not buy the
- company itself. New Era came in and bought Tactic, the company (the equity,
- the name, etc.) and was in the process of merging the two entities when the
- hurricane struck, so I'm not sure if they're known as New Era or Tactic
- Software now.
