Dear Konstantina,

Sorry for the delayed reply, I am offshore on an oil rig doing wellsite paleo, very busy!
 
We'll be marketing it through the International Nannoplankton Association for $100 this fall.  If you don't need the nannofossil data set to go with it, then we can make other arrangements.  What type of fossils do you work with, how many taxa will you have, how many different families or groups? 

One shortcoming in this version is that you must create your own thumbnail image for each taxon and group.  Future versions will automate this.  I'll be glad to help get you going if you think that this software is what you need.


Thanks, and please feel free to contact me for more info.
