Product: DEGAS Developer: Batteries Included Address: 17875 Sky Park North, Suite P, Irvine, CA 92714 Phone: (416) 881-9816 Price: Discounted to $23 (MRSP unknown) Probably everyone has heard of DEGAS by now and there have been several reviews in magazines. Frankly, it is $23 (or so) well spent. The human interface is well designed and it appears to be quite a capable paint program. Since I am not an artist, I'm not really qualified to comment on its suitability for art, but the demo pictures are really quite nice. It IS, however, a good tool for viewgraph preparation. As a frustrated typographer, it's fun to create a new font with the font editor and try it out in a graphic design. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the fonts provided (I am working on a Futura-like font) and the 8H x 16V fixed character format is a serious restriction. The magnify feature is good for touching-up large display text. The EPSON print driver works OK with our Panasonic 1092 with good results. (Running the dot matrix output through a Xerox copier tends to integrating the jaggies and reduces "blockiness.") DEGAS is easy to learn and has a good user's manual. Give this one 3.5 stars. -- paul drongowski decvax!cwruecmp!pjd case western reserve university pjd%Case@CSNet-relay
