- 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.
