Wayne: I saw Saxon in action at WOA here in New York. The guy doing the demo swore it was running on a stock 68000, and it was incredibly fast, much faster than the latest release of ProPage on my 25 mHz 68030 at work. It also di absolutely great wysiwyg, had lots of options, like auto drop caps, auto shadows, etc., quite easily flowed text in all kinds of irregular ways, and did very easy text rotation. The price is high, and currently they only import their own structured graphics format, but he claimed that 3rd parties were working on translation utilities for prodraw, sculpt, etc. It will handle EPS and bit maps, however. I was very impressed, but want to hear more about it (including a number of reviews, and maybe some comments from folks around here, before I ask my company to spend that kind of bucks on top of propage, transcript, eclips and prodraw, which they bought me just last FEb. ?|^] Ray Lewis
