Dear customer! Thank you for paying attention to the programs by CITP.


1. GENERAL INFORMATION

    GlobBio is almost a full collection of alive species organized in their scientific taxonomical hierarchy.

The program allows quick search by scientific name, common name and taxonomical number.

There are two versions of the program, demo and commercial (full). 

Commercial version contains all species in their hierarchy with information about aerial, common names and synonyms. Demo version contains full information only for kingdom of monera. Other kingdoms presented only to their family classes. 


2. INSTALLATION

   GlobBio can be installed on memory card as well as on main memory. Proper working process demands different amount of free main memory but to be sure allow 256Kb to be free in dynamic heap. This amount of heap is aviable on Palm and Sony Clie devices with 8 and more megabytes of memory.

We recommend  to do a HotSync operation before GlobBio installation.
