Indeed as i parted with a wad of plastic cash to APDL for a copy of OvationPro at Wakefield this year. Up to this date I had only ever used Impression or the older Ovation as my DTP package. I just got to the point where I felt that Impression X wasn't going to happen so why stop someone i the RISCOS world getting the cash. I do use and regularly update Easiwriter but find that a DTP type programme is just easier sometimes to use for cards/leaflets etc. Doug -- Using a Iyonix PC and RISC OS 5.13, the thinking persons alternative operating system to Microsoft Windows.
