Subject: PopChar Pro for Mac OS X available – New platform, same ease of use

Hagenberg, May-17-2002, ergonis software today announced the immediate
availability of PopChar X 1.0, the Mac OS X sibling of the highly acclaimed
PopChar Pro. It is as easy to use as its predecessor: just click in the
small “P box” in the corner of the screen to find and insert characters
without remembering the keyboard combinations. Web designers will
especially enjoy the feature to insert HTML symbols.

“We know that there is a huge number of Mac users eagerly awaiting a Mac OS
X native version of PopChar Pro. During the last months, we have received
so many inquiries from customers, many of them even telling us that they
would postpone their migration to Mac OS X until PopChar Pro for Mac OS X
would be available. I am proud and satisfied to announce that the wait is
over now. PopChar X is available by today,” said Christoph Reichenberger,
founder and CEO of ergonis software.

“We are excited about the new PopChar X. We even managed to make access to
the PopChar features easier than ever.” said G=FCnther Blaschek, professor a=
t
the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, author of PopChar Pro and PopChar
X. “PopChar X is always just a mouse click away when you need a special
character. Font selection, ‘hot spot’ in the menu bar, HTML codes – it’s
all there, and now with a fresh new Aqua look under Mac OS X!”

Besides PopChar X 1.0, a new version of PopChar Pro has been released
today, too. PopChar Pro 1.5 requires a new license key, but the same
license key can be used for PopChar Pro 1.5 and PopChar X 1.0. The upgrade
is free for customers who purchased PopChar Pro in 2002. All customers who
purchased PopChar Pro before 2002 can upgrade to PopChar Pro 1.5 including
PopChar X for a modest upgrade fee.
