A free demo version of Inverse will be released by January or February 2000. This will be a fully functional version of the optimization shell with a limited period of validity, probably till autumn. After this period commercial version will be released.

Anyone will be able to download the programme and test it until the expiration date. The demo version will be available for Windows and Linux on PC and for HP-Unix on (10.20 or higher).

Long testing period will enable users to get well acquainted with the programme before official version is released. It will also give us time to prepare well for release of official version and to improve the programme and user support. The support will be provided entirely through material available on the Internet (executables, on-line and downloadablemanuals, news and other documents, training examples, examples with files, mailing groups, etc.).
