Message-ID: Date: 4 Dec 89 23:33:26 GMT References: <21563@usc.edu> Sender: news@linus.UUCP Organization: The Mitre Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 40 In-reply-to: papa@pollux.usc.edu's message of 4 Dec 89 08:00:16 GMT Now that Oxxi has acquired the rights to Aegis software, and Aegis will operate as a division of Oxxi, is there any chance that some existing Aegis products will be upgraded? Products in dire need of an upgrade include: Animator and Impact. Aegis Impact could be a nice business desktop presentation package (there aren't many choices on the Amiga). What it really needs is to support higher resolutions; its maximum resolution is only 640 x 200. It also could be upgraded to support outline fonts or PostScript. In any case, it hasn't been upgraded (so far as I know) since it originally shipped three years ago. Aegis Animator has fallen so far behind its competitors, that it should either be upgraded or taken off the market.
