It may require QuickTime.  A reasonable requirement since any recent
Mac will have it.

Most likely you can't send it to us because it is copyrighted.  We do
not accept copyrighted works unless they are publicly redistributable
(shareware, freeware, demoware).  If you have the time to fiddle
around you can keep trying the program after each new BleedingEdge
release.  We're making substantial progress and maybe it will just
start working.  If you don't have the time you should wait for 1.99q
and try again then.

How much does the CD cost?  Perhaps we can buy a copy (assuming it
doesn't require QuickTime) and try to get it running ourselves.

We still have to finalize a particular deal in the US before we can
work out foreign distribution.  This is taking a little longer than
we'd like (as usual).  Sorry about that, but we *will* get some sort
of distribution going in Oz.
