Lines: 34 I use it - although there fits and starts - that is, unless I have a specific graphic project (newsletter, brochure) it may go weeks without use. As far as my own artwork goes - I waver between using Geos (the best drawing [full page] program available) and OCP Advanced Art Studio ( the best multicolor, er, multicolour, CBM graphics tool available). It all depends on where I want my work displayed - if paper, then Geos, if screen, then OCP. I think the biggest breakthrough will be when there is a high level language available for general purpose hacking.... It still stands alone as a word procession tool that uses true virtual memory, and I do use it - although usually to dress up documents - particularly things I downloaded from elsewhere..... If there is enough interest perhaps someone should upload the "Wrong is Write" tool that lets you port text into<-->out of Geos. - or can't we do that here? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "..If you own a machine, you are in turn owned by it, and spend your time serving it...."
