- Let me just add my $0.02 worth here... I recently got HotLinks (about 2
- weeks ago) and I *love* it. *ANYONE* out there using PageStream2 should
- seriously consider this package! Although BME (bit map editor) is a bit
- limited, its great for cropping, etc. And when you "subcribe" (like importing)
- to the image in PageStream, it comes in instantly (even with my 60000).
- PageLiner (the word processor) is soooooooo much nicer than having to do
- text editing in PageStream!!! It has a good spell checker thats pretty
- fast. I usually pull up PageStream *and* PageLiner at the same time --
- moving from one to the other... Its a dream come true for PageStream users.
-
- Wish list: I would like to see a capability for PageLiner to interface
- with the ISpell package (so that I can use a single spelling data base).
- I would also like to see color support in BME. (note: since bitmap images
- are represented in PageStream in B&W, it really doesn't matter *that*
- much -- considering that BME is *fast*).
-
- One more thing, I just want to say that I am in no way associated with
- the folks at Soft-Logic, I just think they have a fine DTP package, and
- now with HotLinks support, its one more feather in their cap!
