Few Words Our demo programs are, of course, an excellent way to get a real feel for the software…how they work, what they can do, what they look like. All the programs can be downloaded at no charge — currently you will have to use a "zip" program to un-zip them, although we are soon going to make them automatic, They differ from each other in a number of respects —
Data for the asset’s entire history would be entered in the "real" versions. In the demo versions, however, you are limited to 4 years of historical data. Similarly, in the real programs you would enter estimates of resale values, while on the demo versions, the resale values are automatically calculated as percentages of the acquisition costs. Otherwise, they work exactly like the real versions. When you enter data, you will, in fact, get the real recommended optimal replacement times for the asset, based upon your own input. In the download, the write-up you should print out to guide you through the program will be found on the writeup.doc file. It has been created on Microsoft WORD, Office 97 version. Have fun!
The RELCODE demo is not a working version, but is like a "slide show". Dr. Hastings, the author has done a very thorough job of showing you all the features of RELCODE, and thus you do not require a write up or promotional brochure beyond the demo itself.
EXAKT’s download will take longer. As with AGE/CON and PERDEC, the demo for EXAKT is the "real" program, but the limitation we have built into it is a time-limitation, that is, it will cease to work 90 days after you install it. |
AGE/CON and PERDEC…are for making optimum replacement decisions for
the organization's assets. AGE/CON is designed for the replacement of
vehicles, and PERDEC is designed for the replacement of plant equipment
and machinery. The software packages are identical to one another, except that some of the
"vocabulary" in AGE/CON refers to "vehicles",
"distance" and so on, while the words in PERDEC refer to
machines or "equipment".
