[net.micro.atari16] Text & Graphics Packages.

Hi,

   I have had excellent experience with Easy-Draw. It is a full resolution-
independent draw program, in which you work on a full page. It also allows
you to mix text with graphics, using the full power of GEM. I have more than
once used this program as a mini word processor to mix text and graphics.
It is a very good desktop publisher. It is lacking a laser printer driver
and support. Beats me why, I have met several people who would love to use
it with a laser printer, and would pay. But it works fine with a epson
printer. There also some other packages announced for release. I have tried
the Graphic's Artist. I have to say, that program is slow and kludgy and
not worth the price. For $149.95 (less mail order) easy draw is the
top winner

You will be happy to know that MiGraph now has a PostScript driver. They
said that they will be making it available to existing owners in the
next upgrade, which is due in the first week of November. I alredy sent
in my origonal!
