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.
