I complained about this yesterday on c.s.n.software. The author has since  
put a 10 minute version of the demo on the archives. It gives a much  
better idea of the program. For other physicists out there, it has some  
nice things related to harvmac and phyzxx. As for using the old TeXView,  
this will be updated when 3.0 comes out apparently. The demo is probably  
worth a second look.
