No, what I saw was a German product. Don't know anything about
performance, though.

I also have in my possession a first class product from
the Technical University of Delft (The Netherlands). It
is an image-processing program using all ST features.
You should see it to believe it. It is public domain
but takes up more than 600 Kb for the program (called AIM, Atari
Image <something>) and demo-files. A single picture takes up
more than 60 Kb. But oh so good. Any idea how I should
distribute this?
