Does anyone know of a Fig implementation for the NeXT?

Check out the third party guide for a program called TopDraw. I have
played around with demo quit a bit and have found it to be very
powerful. It should be out "real soon now" (call Media Logic for
a better idea of when.)

The thing that impressed me most was the ability to type along an
arbitrary path. Not just bind text to a path, but actually type
along the path. My jaw dropped when I did that for the first time.
You can also flip a piece of text and start typing backwards, then
you can rotate it (any angle) and type some more. It is really
fantastic.

It does bezier curves also, and the list of capabilities goes on and
on and on (like the Energizer bunny :).
This is the one program that I am likely to purchase.
