The shareware version on the web has been mentioned a few years
ago by Yannick Corroenne (who also helped with the creation of
the program) on P3D (digest #1075). I have also made commented
on it in digest #1724. The program is pretty good/simple and
it's good that you comment on it, since alot of people probably
are not aware of it.

Actually the CD version is also pretty old. I have had it for a
couple of years and last year saw it on sale (liquidated) for under
five bucks. They might be bringing out a newer version though.

For those thinking of buying the French CD version, and don't
know French, they can download the English shareware version
and read the pretty good help file that comes with it. The only
difference with the CD and the shareware version (other than
the shareware being in English and the CD version French) is
that the color anaglyph option is disabled in the shareware
version. This is not too bad, since most of the time you'll
end up doing b&w anaglyphs.

And the whole thing is only 590k, with most of it comprised of
the useful help file!
