HUNT ENGINEERING CD History
The current version available is always the version at the top of the list.
Changes are made to the software and product manuals on the HUNT ENGINEERING CD more frequently than the web site is updated to ensure that our customers always receive the latest versions of our software. Sometimes the only change from the previous CD is a minor product manual update. All such updates (since 1st January, 2000) are listed here so that you can check that you have the version of the CD that you need for your HUNT ENGINEERING HERON system. We hope you will find this table a useful reference.
For full information about the latest software releases go to the Upgrades page where you will also find hardware upgrade information. Every HUNT ENGINEERING software product has its own history page which lists the changes made in each new release; there are links in the list below to the relevant history page each time there has been an upgrade to any software product. Alternatively, return to the Support page and follow the appropriate link.
If you need the latest version of any of the software, you can download it now by following the link to that product or request the latest HUNT ENGINEERING CD.
