[comp.sys.mac] Is there anything available that resembles PrintShop?

alexis@ccnysci.UUCP (Alexis Rosen) (02/28/89)

A friend of mine wants to purchase Broderbund's Print Shop. My understanding
is that this software is copy protected, unMacish, and quite broken with
the new systems. Am I right, or ismy information out of date?

If I am right, is there any other program for the Mac which is roughly
comparable to Print Shop?

Thanks in advance,

When I used Printshop on someone else's Mac SE with System 6.0 and the
LaserWriter IISC, it really got messed up with all the bitmaps being
munged and placed at odd areas on the page.  It seems that Broderbund
didn't follow some of the printer interface guidelines, or it could be
that the LWIISC is just a plain bad idea (I think the latter is true :-)
