I took a very quick look around your site to try to figure out a couple
things before I bother with the trial:

- The price?  Even roughly.  And are there academic prices?  I'm in Canada.

- Is it Java?  Java apps are a bit slow on some of my computers (I'm on
Windows 2K & XP).  Hey, it appears that maybe it's a Qt app?  I've heard
that Qt produces fast and native cross-platform apps, though I haven't
(knowingly) used any myself.  Is it a Qt app?

Thanks,
Tom.
