- I got the new upgrade to ABC Flowcharter for Windows (v2) yesterday. I had
- been waiting to see what effect Micrografx buying out Roykore would
- have on one of my more useful windows programming tools.
-
- They seem to have done a lot of work on it, it is much richer in features,
- choice of palettes, use of colours, general customizability and it includes
- 26 True Type fonts (Garrison sans family, Franklin and Windsor families and
- Goudy, VAG Rounded and Kauflinn decorative).
-
- The screen now has so many tool buttons all around it that you have to
- use it in at least 800x600 screen - v1 was fine at 640x480. They have missed
- one really important element of the windows paradigm in that there is no
- view menu to get rid of all the screen clutter to see your chart more
- clearly though.
-
- Conclusion: well worth the $99 upgrade cost.
