some of the excellent features of Textures. Barry Smith designed and extended this software to make it user friendly. About the only negative feature of Textures is that it creates the final PDF output with the Mac print manager, which makes it impossible to
use some advanced features of PDF such as cross references.<br>

That gives quite a nice overview of the program. Thanks.<br>

<br>
The FTL ads give a Toronto address, and Smith's implementation was only<br>

Thanks for helping me solve this mystery.<br>
