Jonathan,
The CD is very basic- more of an intro to Scrolls studies than anything
else. It also, at least in its earliest incarnation, had several glitches
which caused it to shut down a lot.
The worst part is that you cant print anything. You can look, but you cant
touch seems to have been the motto of the makers.
To me, the money would be better spent on a book of photographs.
Yours,
Jim West
