ATARI ST REVIEW
Copyright 1994 EUROpress ENTERPRISE Ltd.
COVER FEATURE:
""""""""""""""
TWIN TITANS ..................................................... Page 16
The worth of a computer is all too often rated by the quality
of its Graphics and DTP programs. In the case of the ST, this
has just improved dramatically with the release of 'Calamus
Sv2' and "DA's Picture". After many years of developement,
'Calamus has finally come of age, modular in design,
integrated word processor and other useful tools, colour
separations -- the features list is highly impressive and you
can see the result of a true 'Calamus SL' layout within this
issue, on page 19! Our feature starts on page 16... "DA'S
Picture" offers powerful bitmap and vector graphics options,
making it a truly worthwile image creation and retouching
tool. How good? Find out by reading our full review starting
on page 22...
ON THIS MONTH'S COVERDISK:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
GEMVIEW 3
...one of the best image conversion and manipulation programs
ever available for the ST! ST Review's cover disk version won't
timeout after 30 days (the PD version does) and, of course, is
coupled with two pages of superb tutorial starting on page 12!

...Atari's control panel software. We've included 22 CPS
modules including all the latest ones from Atari along with our
