Updates - AShop Deluxe
Some new features have been added to AShop Deluxe
and a lot of fine tuning has been done since version 4.2 was released to the public
last November. Since most of the bugs only affected specific functionality and
did not affect all users, we have been installing patches for individual sites
as needed instead of doing a lot of patch or update releases. Version 4.3 adds
a few new features and resolves allmost all bug reports that have been received
to date. This should satisfy most needs for a few months while we focus on adding
new features and testing for the release of version 4.4, which is planned for
summer of 2006.

Updates - eMerchant
eMerchant has been in use on several active retail
product web sites for over a year and has been available to the public for several
months. We are still adding new features and fine tuning things, but the program
overall is a shining success. It saves time and money by organizing customers,
orders, and vendor related information in one centralized, multi-user resource.

Updates - Digital Mall
Digital Mall is installed on a few sites for
beta testing and further development. We are still considering how best to further
develop this unique marketing tool. Look for progress in this area during the
next few months or contact us if you would like to be involved.

We are continually working to keep up
with changes in technology and to improve our systems. An easy way to keep up
with rapidly changing technology and to ensure best performance is by subscribing
to AShop Deluxe support and updates, which may be renewed annually for only $60.
We do not currently prompt individual users to renew the support and updates when
their subscription expires, however this will be fully automated in our system
with the release of version 4.3. For now, please contact us if you need assistance
and/or are unsure about the status of your support and updates subscription.
