True. I use a somewhat older version on my Sparc and have generally been happy with it. But Tom Rokicki has a habit of putting some pretty nice enhancements into his products (like the Amiga version's ability to print postscript images on non postscript printers and display them in the previewer). Also, I believe that his AmigaOS version has been considerably tuned for speed. I strongly suspect that these enhancements will make it into the AmigaUNIX version if there is demand. > -Rob Jim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- James A.
