Art Department Professional will write several PC formats such as PCX and
GIF. These formats are provided in the basic package (ie: you do not have
to purchase these formats separately).  ADPro is particularly well suited
for this (writing PC files) since  it  has an enhanced palette mode which
allows it to pick  colors  based  upon the increased palette size used in
VGA rather than that used on the Amiga.

To get the images into  PC readable form,  a very  direct method (and one
which we use) is to have  Colsultron's  Cross-Dos running on your machine.
You can then write 720K PC disks directly from Art Department Professional.

If you have a larger budget, one corporate drives ADPro's ARexx capability
remotely from  a network of PC's.  IE: A front end program running on a PC
``authors'' an ARexx program which  is  file transferred  over to  an  un-
attended Amiga running ADPro. ADPro munches the ARexx program and sends the
resulting data files back to the originator.

What does ``Ask me for a copy of my bootleg list'' mean?
