Computers are like old gods; lots of rules and no mercy (Joseph Campbell)

The final details of a program are consuming as much time as its core. The fact is that Euratlas Periodis Expert is delayed. However you will find here 18 screenshots with explanation, of this program. Thus, you will be able to discover its powerful functionnalities. We are about to issue the final version but we need to be certain that the program works fine and at the satisfaction of every user.
Existing customers of the present Periodical Historical Atlas of Europe Expert and of the Euratlas Periodis Basic will be entitled to a discount on the price of Euratlas Periodis Expert.

3) EURATLAS WEBSITE INTERFACE
We are improving the Euratlas website. Our aim is to give a clear view of the whole website and to allow an easy access to each section from every web page. Thus, we will make a wide use of cascading style sheets (CSS). For the time being, our home page, the World Atlas and the Europe Photos are ready for an easy navigation but
eventually the remaining sections, especially the History of Europe pages, will be designed on the same way.

4) PHYSICAL WORLD ATLAS
We have updated the World Atlas with more recent population and lifeexpectancy data. What's more, we have added the major rivers andmountains of the world. Now, you can click on a river or mountain range name and make appear this feature on the planisphere. You will notice also the the main data are underlined by color bars whose lenght varies with the size of the element. That means that long rivers and high mountains, for instance, are underlined by long blue or green bars.

Euratlas Periodis Expert is still in progress and we hope to issue it soon.

In the meantime, enjoy a nice Autumn
