TORONTO (December 1, 2000)
Sea Change Corporation announces the immediate availability of
version 3.3.0 of BookWhere 2000, its professional Internet research software. Enhancements in this release fall into the following three main areas: additional translations of the user interface have been made
and the new languages are German, Spanish and Italian, the online help system has been extensively re-written and expanded and finally, substantial support for the Bath profile has been added.
This release continues to expand our support for the requirements of our growing international customer base. The user interface is now available in
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Danish. The entire online help system and printed User Guide is now available in both French and English. These developments, when combined with our extensive support of
international record formats, are expected to substantially increase world-wide sales of BookWhere.
Version 3.3.0 has an extensive online help file available. Totaling over 20,000 words, the HTML based help system provides in-depth coverage of the
product and related issues. Numerous links to Internet based information resources complement the on-line help. The breadth and depth of the help system make BookWhere 2000 the ideal product for both novice and
expert users.
