It could certainly be more... (better?) ... but it was sufficient for my needs. It lacks animation and is probably every bit the PowerPoint clone that OpenOffice is. I stay away from OpenOffice as much as possible because it is such a resource pig. > I haven't tried the others.

Slideshow seems like an impressive application to me from looking at the web site http://www.alobbs.com/slideshow. It has an option to create "ASCII Slides", so I don't know if that means it can read from a text file or not. I might try it out just to see, but I am trying to cut back on what I am installing these days. The ports system almost makes it *too* easy to install things and I've gone a little crazy with it lately. -- Todd Stephens "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." - Plato
