Actually, I just wrote the Layout User's Guide (couldn't do the Modeler
User's guide because of time constraints) plus a bunch of appendices.
There is also the Modeler and Layout reference guides that NewTek did.

As far as I know, the Amiga version will still have the moving preview.
Other versions do not, *but* there are two new viewing modes - Frontface
and Solid that make viewing much easier.

Glow hass been reintroduced as a button on the interface as opposed to a
