Failure to do so will result in a "Unable to open 'SYSREPOSLANGUAGES' message" at login on the runtime.

December is shaping up to be quite a busy month but just in case anyone in either the Moscow or New York area wants to pursue discussions, a member of Sprezz personnel will be around both places in mid-December so contact us now if you'd like to meet up. Strictly subject to availability, sorry!

27th November  2002
Well as you can doubtless work out we've been a tad busy in Sprezz for the past few months with the setting up of Revelation Software Ltd. As you can tell from their site they're well established now (if you haven't seen it check out http://www.revsoft.co.uk - puts ours to shame) and Sprezz is back to concentrating on what we do best - Revelation consultancy. With the product developing so quickly it can be difficult to keep up at times but we're staying ahead of the curve and we've got some great stuff to tell you about. We're hoping to get an SENL out before Xmas to give you something to play with!

To all of our American clients, colleagues and friends (almost seems redundant as to the best of our knowledge none of our clients are enemies)  to quote Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince "We'd like to take this opportunity to wish y'all a Happy Thanksgiving but we'd also like to encourage you to take this opportunity to pause - just take a minute and stop and look around at your family and thank God for them, because they will not always be here with you - Peace".

9th July 2002
Sprezzatura are delighted to be able to announce that they have been granted the exclusive distribution rights to Revelation Software products in the UK. This will be effective from July 28th 2002.

This appointment means a qualitative improvement in support levels for all UK and European clients and an increased dedication to the furtherance of Revelation Software's interests in this important sphere of Revelation's activities.

We look forward to being of more assistance to our European clients.

For more details see Revelation's Website.

2nd July 2002
We are frequently asked if we are able to provide support for legacy AREV applications, especially where the original supplier has gone out of business or changed direction. We are VERY pleased to do so and will use all reasonable endeavours to keep you working and productive.

If you're the user of a legacy AREV system and are in contact with other users then why not contact info@sprezzatura.com and we can configure a support package for you as a group! We can even discuss forming a consortium to move the application to OpenInsight or the web if this is of interest to you! And if you're feeling stranded because you don't know anyone else then don't worry - we're happy to support you individually! Some of our supported customers are still using software they bought 15 years ago in RevG! Nothing is too old for us to support.

Our consultants have extensive experience of a number of vertical market software packages so don't feel abandoned - contact us today!

16th June 2002

We are VERY proud to announce that another client Web Site using our leading edge web enablement tool S/Web, has gone live at http://www.mpr.co.uk. MPR specialise in providing a research database of non-restricted commercial military intelligence to a worldwide community of researchers. We're particularly proud because, whilst other sites in use DO use S/Web to serve linear hash data this is the first site to be ENTIRELY driven by S/Web from the static opening screen on!

The site features sophisticated on-line credit card transaction processing and complex search facilities but non-subscribers can play with the site's simple search facilities to get a feel for how it all fits together!

If you'd like your Rev G, AREV or OI database to look this good when exposed to the Web then drop us a line and we'll do our best to do the best for you! And don't forget - we're "Celebrating CeBIT with Sprezz Local" and available slots are fast running out!
