                       - THE NEWDESK ICON CPX V2.0 -

Software Development Systems is proud to introduce THE NEWDESK ICON
EDITOR CPX Version 2.0, the latest upgrade to this popular icon editor
available for Atari computers with TOS 2.05 and above.

NIC, which runs using Atari's Extensible Control Panel (available on GENIE
or at your local dealer), uses only 1k of system memory when not in use and
can be conveniently called from any GEM menu bar.  In addition users with a
TOS version less than 2.05 can still utilize the 32x32 icon editing
capabilities for use in HYPERLINK and any resource construction set.

NIC can load and save GEM .RSC, DC .ICE, .ICN, and .XIC files (our own
icon format).  Convenient functions such as flips, shifts, rotate, fill,
and more are all readily available within our graphic toolbox.  In
addition, icon color, character position, and title may be modified.
 
Version 2.0 completely supports the Atari Clipboard for interaction with
other programs that support this standard. Our clipboard support
writes .XIC, .ICN, and .IMG files for manipulation from within other
programs.

Preview mode is included to allow you to see your icon as it will
appear on the desktop.  

Version 2.0 now completely manages the DESKICON.RSC and NEWDESK.INF
files. We've even added an expanded install feature from within the
program that lets you assign one icon to many different file masks for the
greatest flexibility.

As if that wasn't enough the package also includes .XIC Print, an
application to print your icon files to any GDOS/FSM GDOS device, and an
icon convertor to convert PD icon files to .XIC. We have also put over 600
PD icons on disk.

The Newdesk Icon Editor Version 2.0 is available now for the retail price
of $29.95 + $2.50 S & H.  Owners of earlier versions can upgrade for
$10.00 + $2.50 S & H.  Contact your local dealer for information or order
