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...
