- I've used both programs.... you need a utility called geoPCX to get
- GEOPAINT files to geoDRAW. CBM geos text files have to be converted to ASCII
- text then imported to Geoworks. It would have been much nicer if there had
- been more compatibilty.

- Geoworks printed output is magnificent, though!
