[comp.sys.apple] New user intro

I was surprised (pleased) to find an Apple newsgroup.
As a GS developer, I will be reading this newsgroup regularly and will
participate in any discussions and help out where I can.

I have noticed a couple of items regarding user tool sets - I have a 
comments to add. I have just finished the latest version of The Graphic
Exchange (available from RWP), which is a full GSOS implementation with
support for each graphic mode implemented as a user tool set.
This sped up the development process because tool sets are not linked to 
the main program. It also increased the modularity of the program and
enforces Object Oriented Design ideas.

I am currently on the look out for info on the GIF format, Print Shop GS
formats (other than standard graphics) and any other graphic formats
anyone would like to see incorporated into the product.

If you have not seen the GSOS version of TGE then keep a look out - It
is a LARGE improvement over the previous version.
