- Hey, Branko Collin, you mumbled somthing about Is the new AF coverdisk any
- good? on 23-Feb-96 12:10:55?

- Yup, it's really good. I already use Final Copy (IIb) and it's loads better
- than that. The lite part refers to the absence of any speller, thesaurus
- (these cannot be added, it's got a requester telling you to upgrade to the
- full FWlite - 20UKP) and it only has the Softsans font included.
-
- A few problems, it will not work at all with Magic Menu, and it won't load
- any of my fonts that FC does, since it only supports Compugraphic whereas FC
- supports Adobe Type 1 as well. And it has a border-blanker built in - I
- *hate* black borders!!!
