       Short introduction to the Xact demo version


What is Xact?

Xact is a tool for data acquisition and manipulation, data
analysis and graphical presentation. The integrated graphics
editor can also be used as a stand-alone vector graphics editor.

Although Xact is a very powerful and therefore complex tool,
you will quickly notice its easy and efficent user interface.
The current version of Xact is a direct result of a 5-year
cooperation with a large number of users, mainly from the
technical or scientific sector. Thus, Xact now offers a broad
range of chart types with a vast number of proven options.
One of the unique capabilities of Xact is the
capability to manipulate each single object of the chart
individually if desired. This gives you complete control over
the appearance of your chart.

When developing products, practical usablitiy is our main concern.
By practical usabiliy, we understand a combination of an easy
user interface, a large feature set, and precise and reliable
operation.

To form your own opinion, please read the rest of this short
introduction and get some hands-on experience by using the
demo-version. The online help and the sample documents may
prove useful.

BTW:
Xact is available for different computers and operating systems.
Currently shipping are versions for IBM compatibles using
OS/2, Microsoft Windows, DOS, or Novell's FlexOS. Also available
is a version for Atari computers using TOS. Cross-platform
upgrades are available at fair prices.

Now enjoy working with the demo version of Xact. If you have
any questions, feel free to contact us by phone, fax, or email.
