Hello EAD List:

I was just looking at the Interleaf website and noticed they have updated
their information about all the Panorama products.  The Panorama Viewer
page seems to be a work in progress.  However it does mention that
Interleaf will be providing a 2-month evaluation version.  When? I do not
know.

I can tell you that all the pricing is the same for all the Panorama
products.  No difference between what SoftQuad was charging and what
Interleaf will charge.
