Personally I am very disappointed with my VP-Gem 2.0 to VPWIN 3.0
upgrade ($195+Tax). VPWIN does not show rotated text and the display is
totally unusabel in reduced view.

I am yet to get ATM fonts to work with Ventura (inspite of my having
applied the 12/90 patch which was supposed to fix it... I do need to try
playing with it a bit more.

And... VPWin is a dog when it comes to speed. Gem version just blazes
compared to the Windows version.

Anyone on the net pointing to my follies will be appreciated!!
