I've been trying to find out as much as possible about Cyberleaf, but no luck so
far. When I called Ileaf they said, "We aren't planning any demo versions. It's
only $795 per copy anyways so why don't you just buy a copy. If you like it,
you can buy more. If you don't, don't". Uh yeah, thanks (insert the sound of a
phone being hung up here). I corresponded briefly with a professor at
UMASS-Boston who was on a research grant from Ileaf and had used Cyberleaf, but
was unable to get any real info. Our group would really like to see Cyberleaf
in person (DOS, MAC, UNIX, it doesn't matter). I posted to a couple of
newsgroups, but nobody responded. I guess nobody has been willing to pay $795
to kick Cyberleaf's tires.
I'm very interested in anything anybody knows or finds out.
