Ft. Collins, CO. - Stylus, Inc. announces the Stylus Pro-Pak; a

Pro-Pak includes ProVector 3, a major update of our
structured-drawing program; StylusTracer(tm), for autotracing,
image-processing, and touch-up; PSImport(tm), for PostScript
importing and editing; and RexxRequest(tm), an ARexx command
host for designing Intuition(tm) requesters for ARexx macros.
NEW FEATURES IN PROVECTOR 3:
* Advanced Graphic Architecture(tm) support
* A complete "interface-lift"

skewing, mirroring, warping, etc.

Illustrator

PostScript Type 1 support, text blocks, text effects,
imbedded formatting commands

PSIMPORT(tm), the utility that gives ProVector the ability to
load and edit PostScript files, has been updated to complement
the new features of ProVector. Support has been added for the
following PostScript(R) features:
* Text objects
* Gradient fills

STYLUSTRACER includes a full suite of image-processing and
touch-up tools to prepare bitmaps for tracing. IFF-ILBM and
TIFF bitmaps may be traced. Traced drawings may be saved in
either IFF-DR2D, or Adobe Illustrator(tm) file formats. Tracing
options include object tracing, center-line tracing, sub-polygon
(objects with holes) tracing, and thin-line tracing.
StylusTracer utilizes ARexx for macros and interprocess
communication, as well as AmigaGuide for on-line help.
Finally, REXXREQUEST is an ARexx command host utility which
gives ARexx macros access to the Amiga gadtools.library, for
building 2.X style requesters. Included macros provide examples
of RexxRequest's use, as well as useful functions in their own
right.
