Well I did get my local dealer to correct his price on PageSetterII and
he kindly added 20% discount (which he had advertised on software).

The outline fonts make the program usable on my 24pin NEC (P2200).
It only comes with 2 outline fonts (same as I heard about ProPage1.3).
This makes PageSetterII the least expensive way to have outline fonts,
Though PageStream does have more outline fonts and costs only ~$40 more
mail-order ($130 vs $90).  

PageSetterII allows importing of Graphics from ProDraw, or Bitmapped.
Does anyone know of a conversion utility for other formats to ProDraw's
I'd like to import drawings from IntroCAD, which has its own format, and
has a utility for conversion to AegisDraw format.  I really would like to
avoid the "jaggies".  I don't really want to spend the money on ProDraw
right now.  I'd rather spend it on the other Compugraphic fonts. 
I just noticed PLT popped up on the binaries group. Can it output a simulated
300dpi bitmap iff file so I could possibly simulate a scanner?

Any ideas appreciated.
