Hi Paul, My office work is done using Final Copy, Pro-Calc, Pagestream and Superbase (though I do tend to change databases with the wind, I havn't found one I really like.. except my filofax that is). If I have a lot of text to generate I use an ascii based WP as they print quicker, at the moment Tranwrite does the job. Plan Generation… I tried a couple of CAD programs but still find Pagestream more efficient for 2 reasons: 1. I am very familiar with PS and 2. because I can output a Postscript file on a MSDOS formatted disk and (sometimes) be able to print additional copies on-site using the customers equipment. There is an added bonus to leaving a floppy on-site… customers perceive them as "important" and don't lose them as quickly as they do paper plans … 🙂 My clients are impressed with the quaility of output I give them (Better than other contractors they use) but still see me as an oddball for using a "games machine" (I hate that tag!) to do business work… it seems the proof of the pudding is -not- in the eating! <g> Steve
