I don't have a complexity worked out, but I do have a better plan:

	Interest to demo DataPhile, our EveryMan's flat file database, which
can store pictures, sounds, text, numbers, money, dates, booleans, etc.,
and Create, our high end color PostScript drawing program, which
uses the intuitive metaphors of TextArt to specify shadows, 
fills, skews, rotations etc of arbitrary shapes, has been 
overwelming in the first 10 hours.

	I will place the demos in the archives; Create doesn't save or copy
[but you can Print->Save], DataPhile only allows 25 records per database. 
[but you can have as many databases as you want].

	To receive a free week of the enabled version, just email me for
a temporary registration number [Specify which or both].
	
	Now, excuse me while I climb up onto this cyber soapbox. There.
Whoa! I didn't realize there were so many of us!
	
	What is Beta Software? What is Version 1.0? What is Software? 
The bottom line is: software is a process. What we call Beta at Stone
Design is often times sold as 1.0 or 2.0 by other firms. Alas, we 
are cursed because we are perfectionist computer science types; always
doomed to one more compile, one more tweak, one more feature.
