I purchased it because I know how well it works on an Apple ][.  

I have used it on an SE with system 6.02 and 6.03 with no problems.  The
graphics are easy to use as are the borders.

My complaint is the quality of the letters with 'signs.'  They are indeed
primitive as the person above stated.  I am not at all happy with the
poor quality of the print even with a LaserWriter ][NT.  You have to use
limited sizes or you get the  " J A G G I E S " something awful, even if
you select smoothing (on everything).  Maybe I'm not doing something 
properly.  If you try to use a font size that is not in the outlined
numbers, you get the  " J A G G I E S ".  (Ugh !!)

I feel like I wasted my money.  The Apple ][ version with an Imagewriter
][ looks better (believe it or not) !!  I have used both.
