It was contained in the cover CD-ROM of the May issue of the pommy rag PC 
World.

I bought a copy ($11.25 from memory) but gave it up as a dead loss. It didn't 
support my genuine Creative SoundBlaster 16/CD drive combination, the Web page 
for support in the README didn't exist, nor did the email address for support 
of the magazine preview, and Lasermoon support ignored my emails.

It might be wonderful, but there's no way for me to find out based on what I 
have here. I certainly won't be buying anything from Lasermoon or any of its 
agents.
