Since the Start of Wildcatt in 1995, we have updated the program twice a year, once in Spring and once in Fall. At these times we send a newsletter to Wildcatt users announcing the update, describing new program features and enhancements. Each newsletter also contains pointers on using Wildcatt and a feature article describing some particular item of interest researched using Wildcatt. All of our past newsletters are available for downloading right here. Simply copy the self extracting file to a directory on your hard drive and run the file. The file will extract the newsletter in Microsoft Word format. You can then read or print the newsletter using any Word Processor that can read Microsoft Word documents.
