#BME going structured?
2 messages in this thread
I've been told by my retailer (Amiga) that you are developing or
have released an upgrade to the BME which includes a structured drawing
program. If this is true, when, where and how can I upgrade?g
HotLinks Editions 1.1 was released at WOC Pasadena (mid-September). It
includes the same bundle of three programs, but with some enhancements.
PageLiner now has a Settings menu with all prefs available from it. You can
set a fontlist path so PageLiner can use PageStream fontlists. The new Font
command gives you a PageStream style font requester to format your text
with fonts. The 10 function keys can be programmed to switch fonts, tags or
to enter text.
BME has been given a Trace command which converts bitmap pictures into
structured drawings (IFF DR2D). These drawings can be imported into
PageStream, Art Expression and ProVector for editing and printing without
jaggies.
HotLinks has been given a minor interface overhaul.
All three programs are now Workbench 2.1 and 3.0 compatible and use the new
look menus and scrollbars under 3.0. All three are now font sensitive to
adjust to your system font choices. All three are now Locale compatible to
adjust to your preferences language choice if the appropriate catalog is
available.
Upgrades from HotLinks Editions 1.0 to 1.1 are $35 plus shipping ($5 in
North America, $15 outside North America.) The current shipping version is
1.1.1.
Art Expression is a separate product. It's a structured drawing program and
will retail for $249.95 when released in a few weeks. BME 1.1 is bundled
free of charge with Art Expression as a bonus. Art Expression will be
offered to existing PageStream users for only $125. The same offer will be
made to owners of other Amiga drawing programs.
