- Details were posted to comp.newprod about a week ago. I have tried the
- demo version and overall it seems to have similar power to, say,
- PowerPoint. I discovered a few bugs in it and have reported those to
- the company (along with a wish list of improvements) so hopefully it
- should become more stable in the near future. If anyone wants to try
- out the demo version then be warned that it does not come with a user
- manual (you have to struggle with the minimal on-line documentation). A
- user manual is provided if you purchase the product.
