I'd be comfortable using Pro Page for any application in any level of
advertising/design. I note here that Info, Transactor and one other mag I
can't recall name of offjhand are all produced entirely with ProPage. I've
never seen Adobe Illustrator, but I know what it does, and i seriously
doubt it does it any better than Professional Draw. Gold Disk is much
better at producing programs than they are at estimating when they'll be
ready, but they wont ship something till it's reasonably functional, and
they do support their stuff with updates and improvements. Their help
line, apart from being in Canada (which is an expensive phone call from
here), is okay too. I'd bet on Gold Disk. Not when they SAY they'll have
the stuff, but eventually. It's an AMAZING procuct, in the AMIGA sense of
the word. I was impressed, and I'm old and jaded!
I just wish these nice toys had been around when I was in the ad/design
business. Go mail
