I didn't realize that your having heard of a product was the definite
proof of it's existance. Unfortunately for you, Island Draw, Write
and Paint are not unknown. They've been around in the Unix market for
a number of years. I don't know where you've been, but if you're just
crawling out from under a rock that's your problem, not the rest of
ours!
:-) Have a nice day.
