Duaine Hi .
I would have thought you could do that sort of thing in Libre Office (openoffice) or maybe even gimp Pete -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34.8-0.2-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) 22:35 up 15 days 21:33, 5 users, load average: 0.08, 0.14, 0.12 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, that's what it sounds like to me too - perhaps with the exception of the 1000 templates, the rest is standard office+graphics processing. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This all sounds well and good, but it doesn't make it a true end-user app - like the package is now. I have extensive background in BASIC but absolutely none in GUI, what would be the easiest IDE to get started with ?

But he has the source and I suppose the copyright, so only he can opensource it. I suppose somebody else could write a similar software from scratch.
