Pittsburgh, PA -- Aviar, Inc. announced today that, it has released the translatable Version of its new product KidStuff for OS/2 and released a Plus Pak. John Urbaniak of Aviar stated: "We were happy to have received so many requests from individuals in countries where English is not the native tongue and felt it was well worth the effort to add the translatable features to KidStuff for OS/2. Most of our other products are already 100% translatable." The format of the files was already customizable in the "Preferences" section so if you have more than one child, you can have a separate folder for each child with his or her own copy of KidStuff with that individual child's name included in the programs. The company also announced the release of Plus Pak I which is an add-on and requires that KidStuff already be installed. The Plus Pak consists of four (4) modules: 1."Connect the Numbers" - a variation of the classic "connect-the-dots" drawings found in many children's books; 2."I'm Different" - this program displays four pictures, three of which are the same - one different in some way. The child must identify which picture is different and click on it. 3."I Can Draw" - a very simple free-form drawing package and 4."What Am I?" - As the computer displays a picture, the child must type in the word which describes the picture. For very small children, a "cheat sheet" is supplied with the program. It contains the pictures with the proper spelling. In speaking with the developers, they had only one comment: We're having fun!
