693.0. "Visawrite is here!!!" by AMULET::HALVERSON (This space intentionally filled in) Thu Sep 10 1987 13:47

    I just got my copy of VISAWRITE last night and tried it out.  I
    was quite disappointed with it for a couple of reasons.  First after
    reading the manual and trying to include a picture from Dpaint II
    I found out that the picture you copy into your document can olny
    be one color.  This is not mentioned in the book, but in a sample
    document that give additional hint on the software's uses.  I was
    also unable to print on a la50 printer.  They use a seperate printer
    setup menu and suggest not using the preferences menu since you
    loose a lot of the graphics capability by doing that.  You can not
    not have multiple colors within the same document like you can with
    prowrite.  The only color changing you can do is to change your
    default colors from preferences.  One nice feature is that once
    you transfer a picture into your document you can change the size
    and the location of that picture very easily.  If the would add
    the use of multiple colors in a future upgrade this would  be
    much better software.

    Is the text handled as graphics? or does it treat text ala "Prose
    Plus"? How is the printer output fast, slow etc? Also, when you
    blow up a picture, does it smooth out the jaggies?
    
    thanks,
