RDR targets presentations

by Connie Guglielmo

Fairfax, VA Ð With the help of NeXTSTEP 3.0, RDR has put together a new presentation program called @image.

The $399 program, scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 1993, lets NeXT users create multipage, multimaster slide presentations. Features include speaker's notes, multiple master pages, slide sorting, and drawing tools, including lines, circles, and boxes.

Special page-number and date fields are provided, and standard image-format files can be dragged and dropped directly onto slides.

With a unique network-presentation feature, @image allows users to view a presentation locally or remotely, using NeXTSTEP 3.0's Object Linking. The presentation can be viewed full-screen or in a user-defined window.

NeXT users interested in participating in the beta review for the program, which began in mid-October, will receive a 30-percent discount off the retail price for the product.

RDR can be reached at 703/591-8713.
