Well...we've been talking with Adobe on getting Transcript directly from
them. If it's "free available", then someone is violating a license
agreement.
For the source to Transcript, you need a license from Adobe. A single
seat costs $1795; a site-wide license costs $2895. You have to fill out
a license form from Adobe and mail it back to them -- with payment.
One hitch: the source comes on 1/2" mag tape ONLY -- no cartridge, no
floppies, no alternatives.
