DeltaGraph Is the 'Best of the Best,' Says MyDeskTop Network

Technical Graphing Software Receives Overall Rating of Five Out of Five Stars

CHICAGO, 05/20/99 —

MyDeskTop Network hailed DeltaGraph 4.5 for Macintosh as the "best of the best" in a May 1999 [online] review. MyDeskTop Network presented DeltaGraph, an award-winning charting and graphing software package from SPSS Inc. (Nasdaq: SPSS), with an overall rating of five out of five stars. The rating is determined by compiling scores from a total of four categories: features, speed, value and usability.

"We have been very excited about the positive reaction that reviewers and users alike are experiencing with DeltaGraph 4.5 for Macintosh," said Chris Gregory, DeltaGraph marketing manager. "SPSS is pleased that we were able to improve on an already strong and award-winning product and will continue to increase the quality of graphing on the Macintosh platform."

Noting that "DeltaGraph has just about any chart you will ever need," the MyDeskTop Network review focuses on the software's wide selection of chart types and styles, also reporting on its unique formatting features. Calling DeltaGraph a "remarkable piece of software that will allow you to make any type of chart with little or no practice at all," the review also recognizes the easy-to-use Chart Advisor and Data View. The review concludes by saying that the reviewers "…just touched a small portion of what DeltaGraph is truly capable of. This product is packed with features that would take a book to cover. If similar products claim to be the best then DeltaGraph is better than the best. It's the only answer to really astounding graph and chart presentations."

Completed DeltaGraph charts are ready for publication in almost any format, including paper reports, electronic presentations, professionally published materials or the Web (including Internet, Intranet and Extranet capabilities).
