- Actually, the format support which we are proposing is for converting
- structured graphics found on other platforms to their Amiga equivalents.
- Perhaps you could add Corel Draw (CDR), Micrographx Designer (DRW),
- WordPerfect Graphic (WPG), Computer Graphic Metafiles (CGM) and Lotus (PIC)
- file support to the PageStream/Art Expression wish list.
-
- CGM support alone would be a *major* boon to PageStream, as I'm sure many
- Amiga users would welcome structured clipart packages like Presentation
- Task Force 4.0 (with 3500 pictures @ ~$150, you can't go wrong).
