I have used it on an SE with system 6.02 and 6.03 with no problems. The graphics are easy to use as are the borders. My complaint is the quality of the letters with 'signs.' They are indeed primitive as the person above stated. I am not at all happy with the poor quality of the print even with a LaserWriter ][NT. You have to use limited sizes or you get the " J A G G I E S " something awful, even if you select smoothing (on everything). Maybe I'm not doing something properly. If you try to use a font size that is not in the outlined numbers, you get the " J A G G I E S ". (Ugh !!) I feel like I wasted my money. The Apple ][ version with an Imagewriter ][ looks better (believe it or not) !! I have used both. =-=-= Email: david@jc3b21.UUCP -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dave =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= EOT
