We are in the process of developing major upgrades to our popular UniPile and UniSettle software. The upgrades involve a complete re-design of both applications. They will conform to Microsoft Windows XP and Vista and include several new features and capabilities.

We expect the applications will be available in the Fall of 2009. The upgrades will be 100% backward compatible with older versions. Those now purchasing our current versions (UniPile v.4 and UniSettle v.3) will receive a full credit toward the purchase price of the updated versions when they become available.
