Below is the e-mail blurb Brian sends out for YO-PRO 7.5, the current cost and his contact information for folks looking to purchase the program. Standard commercial disclaimers apply. I just happen to have the info on hand.

   YO-Pro 7.5 Yagi Optimizer


* Stochastic global optimizer

    Ferrets out unexpected designs hidden in far
    reaches of the performance space, can profit
    from millions of Yagi evaluations.

* Enhanced local optimizer

    Refined conjugate-gradient algorithm smoothly
    and rapidly climbs performance peaks.

* Frequency weighting and five optimization frequencies

    Help flatten response over the desired passband.

* Improved optimization of dual-driven designs

    Model Yagis with up to 70 elements to 10 GHz.
    
* Improved accuracy throughout

    Recalibrated to NEC, new gamma, T, and hairpin
    models, tighter mounting bracket characterization.

*  Ideal match facilitates optimization

    Eliminates SWR iterations, speeds calculation 25%,
    and reveals inherent impedance-bandwidth properties.

* Calculates boom correction

    Insulated or noninsulated elements, Hy-Gain clamps,
    custom correction for your particular construction.

* Yagi file saves entire design

    Save matching network parameters, mounting bracket
    dimensions, tapered boom diameters, and everything else.

* Undo and redo all design changes

    Everything from balun-lead length to conductor material
    can be tweaked, evaluated, and instantly undone.

* Single-keystroke NEC verify

    Invoke 2000-segment NEC analysis in YO that
    transparently substitutes NEC results and patterns.

* Pentium optimization

    Optimized, hand-coded assembly language with pipelined
    floating-point code yields thousands of Yagi iterations
    per second on modest computers.

* Thoroughly revised and updated

    Scrutinized, revitalized, modernized, sanitized.
    
* Includes compatible NEC/Yagis 3.0

    Use within YO or alone to model huge arrays of Yagis,
    uses extended memory instead of hard disk.

* $300, single-seat license

    Includes over 150 Yagi models and extensive documentation.
    Payment by U.S. check or money order.  Delivery by e-mail.
