Nuernberg, Germany -- June 21, 2005 -- SoftMaker, makers of the 
TextMaker word processor and PlanMaker spreadsheet, announced 
a one-week 50% discount on their software today.

Already selling at customer-friendly prices of just $49.95,
TextMaker and PlanMaker can now be had for less than US$25 or
EUR 25. Even better: Each additional eligible product is priced
at just US$10 or 10 Euros!

But hurry: This sale lasts only one week!

TextMaker is a lightning-fast and reliable word processor, needs 
little memory, and offers the rich feature set of Microsoft Word. 
Most importantly, TextMaker reads and writes all Microsoft Word 
files from 6.0 up to the current Word 2003 seamlessly.

TextMaker is available for Windows, Linux, Pocket PCs, Handheld
PCs, Windows CE.NET, Sharp Zaurus, and FreeBSD.

PlanMaker offers the feature set and ease-of-use of a modern
high-end spreadsheet application and is closely modeled after
market-leading Microsoft Excel. Its key features are more
than 320 calculation functions, seamless import and export of
all Microsoft Excel files, fully Microsoft Excel-compatible
charting, and full support for Microsoft Excel's AutoShape 
drawings. If you can do it in Excel, you can do it in PlanMaker!

PlanMaker is available for Windows, Linux, Pocket PCs, Handheld
PCs, and Windows CE.NET.

TextMaker and PlanMaker are available with user interfaces in
English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Translations into 
French, Russian, and Simplified Chinese are under development.
