Unfortunately, no. Although those of use that got carried away would do well to remember that it was just a demo - apparently these things often fizzle out without a trace.

Having had an opportunity to play with RenderCast, I think that it's a fairly powerful system with some odd restrictions - I somewhat lost interest after discovering that there's no way to make a line break! A lack of any function to predict how many characters of a given string will fit inside a text area is also very limiting.

Avinity have recently been bought by a company called ActiveVideo Networks, although RenderCast will apparently survive.
