Good business graphics software is impossibel to get for the Amiga, even if
a Perspective would be nice (and FAST) on an Amiga....
 
Well, what the serious user really needs is Harvard Graphis Amiga or, as I
said, Perspective Amiga. It's very sad that a computer that is famed for
its graphics capabilities all the times hasn't even got a good chart 
producing software.
 
Sigh.

What has Grafox to do with Precision? Logistix is quite unbearable, but I
thought until now that it's the only one that gives you something you can
at least look at....(see below) 
btw:  Where can I get Superplan in Europe?  I've tried Markt&Technik, but
they don't know what I'm talking about.

YES!!! If something only half as good as Harvard Graphics existed I could
also get rid of that horrible AT! What is Advantage? What is Project
Master? God, why can't the European computer magazines be up to date???
I'm really looking for business graphics applications! If someone has the
addresses where to get the above programs, please give it to me. 

Thanks.

      According to the manual (v1.0 1988), original program implementation:
      Grafox Ltd, Grafox: Grafox is a 100% owned subsidiary of Precision
      Software Ltd. Program version is up to v1.24 as far as I know.
      Did send in my reg.card for normal response ( >nil: )-( ).
      But hey, the program is almost without bugs so who cares.
 
      Give'm a call at 01-330 7166 or fax a message at 01-330 2089,
      these are the UK numbers, country code is 44.

      Somebody ordered one of the packages for me but I didn't picked it up
      yet since I was (and still am) kind of busy. I'll post a small review
      of The Advantage if somebody is interested. The Advantage is a
      spreadsheet program brought to you by Gold Disk and looking at the
      advertisements it has 3D graphics, and thats what I need. ProjectMaster
      is a sort of project management tool, critical path, flows and more
      stuff someone may need (I do )-{ ) Look in the October AmigaWorld
      for a review of ProjectMaster.
 
>Thanks.
 
   You're welcome.
