Blitz Latin has been commercially available since July 2001 (version 1.35) via the web-site of the independent retail distributors Software Partners ( http://www.software-partners.co.uk). The down-loaded version comes with an auto-install (and auto-uninstall!) facility and is free for 10 uplifts from the hard-drive into RAM. Thereafter a licence has to be purchased (at present £29 or foreign equivalent). The current version is 1.52, released in May 2003. Existing licence holders are entitled to free upgrades with each new release. To date, there have been five such upgrades.
