We are pleased to announce that version 2 of Oriana, our circular statistics
and rose diagram software, is nearing completion. Oriana is a program
specifically designed to analyze circular data, such as angles, compass
directions, time of day, day of week, month of year, etc.

Oriana ver. 2 has been almost completely rewritten from the ground up. The
data handling is greatly improved, including many new data types and methods
of data entry and modification. The number of statistical tests has been
expanded and the graphics have been completely rewritten, with many more
graph types. Full details of the new features are at
http://www.kovcomp.com/oriana/newver2.html

All planned new features have been added and thoroughly tested and the
program has been found to be very stable by our private beta-testers.
However, before officially releasing it we want to open the testing to a
wider audience for comments.

If you would like to try out this new version please go to
http://www.kovcomp.com/oriana/oribeta.html for full details and to download
the program. Please note that during the beta-test program there will be
special pre-release prices available for purchasing and upgrading Oriana.
The prices will rise on 1 Jan 2004.
