I have SHOW-OFF and it ain't bad.  I use the Logitech C-7 as that is 
what Hogware sells with it.  The "driver" is built into the program,
no separate driver needed, so I do not think it will work with
other rats.

Two versions of the program are included on the disk.  One for use
with the mouse and another for use with the keyboard.  Another version
is available for a graphics tablet.

The print driver for an Epson, and most other dot matrix printers,
has a problem with aspic ratio (circles become ovals).

The program disk comes with routines to "grab" both low and high res
graphics images from other programs. Also a slide show program and 
another to display MAC images (to capture with the hi-res graber).

I understand that a version is, or will be, out that will work
with the PROSCAN board.

All in all , the program is not too difficult to learn and has
been fun to play with.  The text routine is a little cumbersome
but it does allow 9 different sizes from a choice of 26 fonts
and a text angle of 0-360 degrees.
