Could you please explain that?

Why? I mean, if the player exists, and developers can figure out a way
to make elegantly designed products utilizing it, why not make it
available? I mean in the same way that QuickTime Player is distributed
in a QuickTime install.
Why not?
I am back to debating creating my new product in Quicktime after all,
despite it not working with the 64 bit machines. Unless you have seen
the topos on one of my products you may not understand how good they
look and how intuitively easy they are to use. I sell good products,
and I don't believe that a Flash based copy of one of the maps would be
as user friendly to the people who make up my customer base. When they
walk up to my kiosks the familiarity of the PDF screen layout helps sales.
