Don't know. For what it's worth, the demo is very professional-looking and
their address is
1708 Shattuck Avenue
Berkeley CA 94709
(415)540-5537
Functionality-wise, I'm finding it a bit awkward. I'm used to being able to
throw the mouse around without worrying about the cursor hitting the edge of
the screen. Except in WriteNow, which scrolls horizontally if you bang into
the sides. Stepping Out does the same thing, but vertically too and instead
of scrolling in the window, it MOVES the window (,the menu bar, etc: the
whole screen). VERY quickly. This isn't very useful in applications that
don't support large windows (VersaTerm, where I am right now, f'rinstance),
but I can't wait to try it in MacDraw.
