You are right Richard, OMNIVIEW does use GR. 8 to generate the characters.
However, it looks better than the others I have seen because I did a lot
of work on my character set. Most people report that they are quite pleased
with the readability. This technique also has the great advantage that it
is cheap! That is why my sales are better than ever and the others are out
of business.

One other advantage to this technique is that you could theoretically mix
text and graphics on the screen. I have not yet had time to try this out
but maybe eventually ...

I enjoy reading your well thought out comments,
David Young
