I am about to embark on a major project of creating three
sets of (200 plus each set) transparencies.  I now have to
decide what program to use to create and manage them.  The 
choices I know of are MacDraw (or some other Macintosh drawing 
program such as Cricket Draw) and LaTeX (with TeXtures).  
I would much rather use a Macintosh program than LaTeX, for ease
of use and choice of fonts.

It is imperative that I be able to manage these transparencies
with the minimum of difficulty!  One of the important features 
I need is ability to link transparencies from one set to another 
set, since many of the transparencies are duplicated from one set 
to the next.  Or at least I need some easy means of knowing which 
transparencies are duplicated in other sets.  I also need capabilities 
such as stamping the "last revised" date on the transparency, page 
numbering, headers/footers, etc.  Is there a program available for 
the Macintosh that will "manage" transparencies?  I've heard vaguely 
of a program called "Cricket Presents."  Does anyone have any comments
or suggestions for me?

Please send me e-mail at yvo@cs.utexas.edu (CSNET)---I don't get
much of an opportunity to keep up with the volume of postings
in this group.
