URGENT! I have some friends who need to buy a computer this week. However, they have a very specific need for high quality text output. I am leaning toward PostScript output which will fit their needs. However, the local dealers do not have any appropriate software to demo (nor the printer necessary) such output. Specifically, I am looking for a program that can manipulate PostScript text in the following mannor: "bending" or arcing vertically (ala DPaint), rotating (X,Y, and Z), re-sizing, and adding scanned-in PostScript pictures. (I have seen PageStream for the Amiga, but I did not see it do the "bending"). I am NOT trying to start a IBM vs. Amiga war, I am simply looking for some names and capabilities of software that will do the task. The system I will purchase for them will either be an Amiga 3000 (25Mhz, 6M Ram) or an IBM clone (386 + extras). The printer of choice could be the QUME 810 (or other). Much thanks in advance. -Rich -- // Rich | "Like any good philosophical discussion, the | // \X/ Andrews | conclusion is left unresolved." -McLaughlin | \X/
