It will be $29.95 US according to current pricing plans.  On June 1, 2001, the
beta will timeout but you will be able to download a free demo from Simberon's
site.  There will always be a free demo version with some editing features
disabled (bitmaps, scripts, counters, and timers). The demo version can play all
scenes developed with the commercial version.
