     2. Pagan Daybook 7 Revision 2 (Second Notification) 
     _______________________________________________________________________

     
     Pagan Daybook 7 has been updated. This release:


     - Adds dual-monitor support. Please see the discussions of dual monitor
       systems in the Reference document of Pagan Daybook's manual.


     - Updates the observance database.


     - Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of 
       Pagan Daybook 7... as software is wont to do.

  
     - Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent 
       updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
       sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
       key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.


     - Improves the performance of the texture generator for theme 
       backgrounds.


     - Addresses an issue with the background logic in the Calendar window.


     - Nails a potential security issue.

     - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software 
       developers never really stop meddling with.      

     - Updates the documentation.

     3. Graphic Workshop Registration Key Issue Fixed 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     It has come to our attention that a few users of Graphic Workshop 
     Professional 7 have experienced unexpected registration key issues, 
     causing the software to revert to an evaluation copy for no apparent 
     reason.

     If you're running Graphic Workshop Professional 7 revision 4 and you've
     been beset with this issue, we have a work-around that should send the
     beast back to the infernal depths of the netherworld for all time.

     Please contact us at 

         http://www.mindworkshop.com/software-support.html

     being sure to complete the field for your registration key, as we'll
     need this to get everything working for you.

     We'll get back to you with instructions for implementing the solution.

     Thanks to everyone who's been patient with this latest twist of 
     Windows.

     5. LizardLand Is Now In Print!!! 
        (And now at Amazon Canada too... Second Notification) 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     Steven William Rimmer's biting satire LizardLand is now available in 
     paperback, through the thaumaturgy of Amazon's print-on-demand books.

     Should you not have encountered this technology previously, print-on-
     demand does pretty much what it says on the box. When you order a copy
     of LizardLand through Amazon, a digital press prints one book, just
     for you.

     Remarkably, the production quality of print-on-demand books is if 
     anything better than that of commercial mass-market fiction. In 
     addition, your book will have been manufactured a few days before you
     receive it, rather than having been stored for months in a warehouse in
     Duluth.

     The production costs of print-on-demand books being relatively low,
     we've been able to use really nice paper, large trade-size pages and
     big, readable type.

     Because these books are sold trough Amazon, you can enjoy free shipping
     with a Prime account, or if you buy enough other stuff to reach their
     free shipping threshold.

     Finally, print-on-demand means pretty much zero waste. Every copy of
     LizardLand that gets printed will actually be sold. By comparison,
     traditional publishing could see three quarters of the books that were
     manufactured ultimately being "remaindered" and destroyed.

     Please see:

         http://www.stevenwilliamrimmer.com/lizardland.html

     to enjoy LizardLand in print. Wise-assed dinosaurs and their profane 
     lawyer await you.
