It's in beta. I have it. It performs very well (thank god I can now
run Agenda). It runs faster on the 040 NeXT than any other platform
it's available on according to Insignia, much to their and my surprise
since it's available on the Sparc.  The reason has something to do
with the instruction set mapping which I didn't really get into. I
don't care because it really works great.
