(I had been using MacWrite > regualrly at work, at the time.) I normally use Impression which is more suitable for what I do (editing a monthly newsletter). I can't remember all the dribs and drabs - I bought the bedongled version when I got my A5000 and the Strongarm upgrade for my RPC. There were one or two extras that I didn't bother with, apart from TableMate. EW/TW is best for structured documentation and is useful for reading Word files. I used to use FrameBuilder/Maker regularly at work, but unfortunately it became big and bloated after Adobe got hold of it. -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_ mailto:ricp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------ To change, suspend or cancel your subscription go to //www.freelists.org/list/icon-users ------------------------------------------------------------
