Clark, I'm not sure about OS/2, but the other packages you've listed work with the Summagraphics Summasketch II+ 12×12 tablet. Windows & Animator Pro also work with the Wacom tablet (w/cordless stylus or puck). The Wacom can be in its native (pressure-sensitive) mode, or can operate with most of the Truevision-related software packages (AT&T GSL, TIPS, etc.) while running with a standard stylus (button @ tip, cancel button on the barrel). If you need the pressure-sensitivity (for PhotoStyler, or Fractal Painter or such under Windows), go with the Wacom (& keep a mouse handy). For greater compatibility, but less flexibility, I suggest the Summasketch. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
