Create 2.0 will include many of the features that Stone announced earlier this year as planned for Create version 3.0. According to Andrew Stone, CEO of Stone Design, "The 2.0 release adds major functionality to Create, while meeting the demand for Create on NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors. User Patterns, multiple pages, and object linking are but a few of the new features and bug fixes." New Features for 2.0: * NSFIP compatibility - Create 2.0 offers full compatibility with NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors on NeXT-qualified Intel-based hardware configurations and Motorola-based NeXT hardware. * Hot links to and from Create - Include link buttons, icons and linked files in any Create document for automatic and manual updating; link to Create files from any other NEXTSTEP app that supports hot links. * Filter support - Create supports Bacchus' ImageAgent image filters; e.g. drag and drop GIFs into Create. * Unlimited Patterns - Create stunning patterns with unlimited variety. Share with friends. * Multiple Pages - Add, duplicate and rearrange as many pages in a document as you like. * Animate - Allows you to animate your pages with any delay. * Text into Editable Curves - Take any Super Text and turn into editable shapes. Create your own wild type! * Unlimited Undo - Tell Create how many edit actions to remember, then Undo to your heart's content. * On-line Help - Create 2.0 includes extensive on-line help based on the NEXTSTEP standard. Create 2.0 is offered in multiple-architecture binary form, making it compatible with both NeXT and Intel-based hardware running NEXTSTEP version 3.1 or later. In addition, Stone said, "This version of Create inherits a recent fix that we issued for NEXTSTEP 3.1 users, in the form of Create 1.2. If you're running 3.1, you definitely want this upgrade because it addresses changes to NEXTSTEP that impact certain Create documents." Create 2.0 can be shared on a network comprising both NeXT and Intel hardware; documents created on either machine can be opened on any other machine running the same version of Create. Like all Stone Design products, Create is available directly from the company and at the ftp sites orst.edu, sonata.cc.purdue.edu and ftp.cs.unm.edu. Students who ftp the package and submit proof of current student status can purchase Create at a special rate. No technical support is provided with this purchase option, but easy entry for students is a firm commitment of Stone Design. Create 2.0, which is available to registered users for $99, lists for $495. Trade-ups to Intel versions of all Stone software purchased between February 12, 1993 and May 21, 1993 are available free of charge to end users. ## Stone Design Corporation of Albuquerque, New Mexico, founded in 1984, develops a variety of productivity applications for NEXTSTEP.
