Hi All,

We have just placed EquationBuilder0.9b(118) at
sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu.  It can
currently be found as
pub/next/submissions/EquationBuilder0.9b118.tar.Z,
but it will slowly migrate to the appropriate demo
directories.  

The main change in this version is a new demo mode.  This new
version of EqB will run full featured for 2 minutes, then
switch off all output including saving, printing, and
copy/pasting to other applications.  All other features
will remain enabled.  This gives 2 minutes with which to
demo how well EqB interfaces with other applications,
and an unlimited amount of time to get familiar with the
application itself. 

We think that this new approach addresses most of the
concerns that have been raised in the past week in these
groups about what makes a reasonable demo  (if not, I'm
sure we'll find out ;-)  Once again, we ask that anyone who
finds that this demo does not allow them to adequately
evaluate the application to contact us so we can make
arrangements. 

Our apologies to those whom our previous demo may have
unnecessarily annoyed.  That was certainly not our
intent.  Given the recent discussion on this group about
what makes a usable demo, we are much more aware of what the
community expects.  We hope this latest version meets
those expectations. 

Thanks...
