For the first time in
Cerilica's [4] history, one of its products is getting fully discounted for a show. To welcome in Cerilica Vantage's new product format, Cerilica will be providing an amazing 66.50ukp discount for visitors wishing to buy
RISC OS [5]' most advanced design and publishing system from the previous 241.50ukp to a more palatable
175.00ukp (fully inclusive).
Following the enthusiastic reception of Cerilica's most recent launch, Insignia, which provided the
manual in a PDF format (two variants - one to suit on-screen reading and the other for easy printing), it was decided that Cerilica Vantage is the next product to follow this format. The software, which was always supplied on CD, now contains a screen-based PDF manual and a variant more suited to desktop printing so that sections or the whole book can be printed for a user's convenience.
However, we recognise that a number of customers will wish to read up with a printed manual supplied which is why the existing stock of manuals (for Vantage 1.01 with printed update notes) will be made available for an extra 25.00ukp at the show. This 232 page book covers all aspects of the package and is accompanied by on-disc tutorials in Vantage's interactive format.
Cerilica will be announcing the new package's format and fixed pricing structure (including overseas dealer alignment) shortly after the Wakefield Show held this weekend. Pricing is due to reflect the on-disc manual package format.
