Actually, I've long been wondering about idea processors, since I've never gotten a chance to see one in action. They sound neat, but it's hard for me to guess exactly what I would do with one. Could anyone give some examples of what these programs do, and what applications they might be useful for? I am also interested in comments on Flow specifically, since that was the program that rekindled my interest recently... ________________ __________________ ____________________________ //// \\// \\// \\\\ \\\\ Neil Weinstock //\\ att!cord!nsw or //\\ "Oh dear, now I shall have //// //// AT&T Bell Labs \\// nsw@cord.att.com \\// to create more Martians." \\\\ \\\\________________//\\__________________//\\____________________________////
