I believe it is called Perspecta Presents!. There is some >info and a version on ftp.uu.net (perhaps in /tmp - if not, in the >/vendors under perspecta I would guess). 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.
