Hello

There are folks who cannot "unpack" this tutorial and play it properly,
so we are working on a new version with a different "packer" for this
Beta version. I will update the folks who had trouble when we resolve
the "packer" issue.

Also, the Mac version is not yet available, so my apologies that I did
not forewarn about that.

Thanks to everybody who were able to try it and provide feedback.

Also, in answer to some of the questions about production issues,
applications and sales channels -

1. Traditional lecture presentations using Powerpoint and other
software/hardware setups are costly and time consuming to create. One
goal of the MVL Creator is a simpler and less expensive (time and
money) product production.

2. Another goal is a much wider range of product offerings - eg, a
series of 15 minute "Quick Tips" , a previously prepared lecture product
for sales at a live event, an "activities" or "workbook" adjunct to a
book publication, a "walking tour" of a map, a "how to" survey of
resources or research strategies, a complete course or series of
courses, etc.

3. Sales channels also span several sectors that genealogical publishers
have neglected with the general public, particularly in stores and
schools, and targeted skill levels in combination with popular history
hooks.

The bottom line is that folks with expertise "Content Experts" can
become more prolific, reach more audiences and generate revenue. In
addition, folks who are content providers can also reach more audiences
- aided by the content experts, through targeted ads.
