[comp.sys.apple2] AWGS is NOT a draw program

Mike,

While you can do some draw-like operations in AppleWorks GS, it surely
isn't a draw program.  The example you quoted, of being able to squash
a circle and still get good looking output is true, and does show the
positive side.

The negative side is that there are many many standard draw tools
missing and that the Draw/Paint module of AWGS simply wasn't written
as a draw tool.   Try this:

Draw two objects.  Group them together as one with the group command.

Ungroup them - it should work fine, giving you two objects agian.

Group them again and SAVE the file.  Close the file, open the saved
file, try to ungroup them....   OOPS!  AWGS forgot all about the two
objects as being separate.  This doesn't happen in a real draw
program...
