Perhaps you could upload it to comp.binaries.mac, oe e-mail me/us a copy!
I'm sure that if version .9 is impressive to some of us, we may actually go
out and purchase a copy when it becomes "released"!  I do a lot of graphics
stuff on my SE, and anything that speeds up screen output is a boon for me!
I only have net and FTP access so I cannot peruse any BBS's at this time...
So, if uploading/mailing does not violate any (c)-laws, then please share it!
