able to give you a quick look at the features and improvements of Adobe Illustrator 3.0. It would be extremely difficult to give a truly detailed review of such a complex application, so I have tried to provide an overview of most of the functions (new and old). Adobe has set a very high standard for other related programs to match. It most definitely is not a lightweight. Being able to integrate serious graphics with page layout on the same screen is magnificent and I love being able to manipulate type without using text dialog boxes.
Another winner is the ability to create editable outlines from type that can be manipulated to create logos, etc. I believe Adobe has taken a giant step toward integrating graphics and text handling capabilities. This package is a must

for any graphics professional, advanced desktop publisher or serious hobbyist. As I learned this weekend at the Graphics presentation given by Rick Burress of Artistec (a true Mac expert) and Gary Fields (our own AMUG newsletter editor and graphics expert), Adobe has in Illustrator the only pure PostScript package on the market. Currently, Adobe Illustrator 3.0 lists at $595 retail.
