- I complained about this yesterday on c.s.n.software. The author has since
- put a 10 minute version of the demo on the archives. It gives a much
- better idea of the program. For other physicists out there, it has some
- nice things related to harvmac and phyzxx. As for using the old TeXView,
- this will be updated when 3.0 comes out apparently. The demo is probably
- worth a second look.
