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-
