My_experience is mostly with DOS but this newsgroup and a few programmers I know have shown me_that there's more than one way to draw...er, skin a cat. Ihave an opportunity to recommend an A3000 DTP workstation to_a co-worker_who is accustomed to working with MacDraw II on a Mac. The question is, can he work on an Amiga, save the graphics in a common format and edit at another location on a Mac with MacDraw II without suffering from ills_such_as__ different looking fonts, size differences (in the image) etc. My assumption is that if both programs support Postscript and if the same fonts are used by both programs,_the only differences will be in the GUI on each platform. This becomes a training issue versus a tech issue. If any one_has experience going between platforms_with, say, a viewgraph done on an Amiga and edited with a Mac & MacDraw, fire me off a note. I'll summarize to the net. Thanks! Chip Gallo
