- !Trace is not PD - but don't let this put you off! It is one of my favourite
- bits of low cost software on the Arc: for L5.99 (inc VAT & PP) you get a
- very impressive Sprite->Draw file convertor (handles colour), a Draw file->
- Font convertor, a whole load of examples pics & some Japanese font thing
- that I admit to never having looked at.
-
- You won't find anything PD like this on the Arc - and you can be damn sure
- that any PC stuff will be horrible! I expect CorelDraw 3 comes with its own
- tracing s/w, so you could always go out and spend L300 or whatever on that!
-
- You can get !Trace from David Pilling - see his adds in most Acorn mags, or
- in the Acorn product directory.

- Disclaimer: I have no connection with this product other than really liking
- it!
