Jack, I just just finished reading the bug list posted by Ben Blish (by the way, if you are reading this Ben please leave me some e-mail about your hardway/software system to decode and display short-wave FAX. I have this money burning a hole in my pocket, and I would love to start pulling in FAX on my Ami). I thought I should let you know that I have imported 640×400 IFF images with no problems, and they print out beautifully on my desk jet! (I bought the Desk Jet after seeing Pagestreams output.) I have a 3meg 2000, so Ben's problem may be memory related. Oh yes, my snap to grid or guides works fine also, don't know what Ben's problem could be here. Most of the other bugs I've run into have already been reported, but here is my short wish list for the upgrade: 1. More Import modules: a. Aegis Draw format b. some of the more common MAC and IBM formats (there is lots of good stuff out there in PD for MAC and IBM DTP programs. c. ProDraw format 2. How about letting us use postscript fonts, there sure are alot of them out there! 3. How about letting us set column attributes ala pagesetter. I recently wanted to set off some text by placing it in a outlined 10% grey box with a drop shadow. I did it, but it was an involved task. Choosing these types of common column attributes from a requester would be much nicer. 4. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE!!, give us some well designed useful file requestors (check out the one used in PIXmate). Well thats it for now, but let me say that even though I now have to use Pagestream with my can of RAID near by, I LOVE THIS PROGRAM! And in fact it has inspired me to add a new unit (I run a program for gifted students grades 7-9) on creative page design to my 7th grade curriculum. -Paul-
