Papyrus Update for E90


It's been since August 07 that the last version of Papyrus was released. Peter2 form my-symbian forum informed us that new Papyrus version update, Papyrus version 1.4.01 is now available.

This update is a free upgrade (as always) for registered Papyrus users. The program should not ask you for your registration upon starting the new version, but if it does - you can enter your regular license key and it should work just fine.

What's new in Papyrus for S60 1.4.01

Improved settings and file handling
