 Many people have probably read about the gra-
physical editor of S.O.T.A.  in the e-magazine
le ZX FORMAT #7. We are working on this project
Tal group Avalon.  But what is less
it is known that another one was carried out in parallel
similar project - Art Works by Bytex
Creative Group.  For some reason
Avalon shut down operations and joined forces
with Bytex, providing full support.     
 We were provided with a beta version of pe-
dactora for testing, and here are ours
impressions.                              
 According to its capabilities Art Works npeboc-
goes such classics as Ar-
tist 2 and Art Studio.  Of course, the basis
contains all the best of these editors,
but there are also new functions that are interesting for
thoughts.  All e functions are depicted as

What to say about the Artist: there’s more of him

 All work with attributes is combined into one
menu, so you no longer have to re-
crawl from one option to another. A in
different tools (brush, spray
etc.) colors can be customized at all
right into them. And if you already have the desired color
is on the screen - you can take it directly
from there.                                   
 The magnifying glass mode is perfectly thought out (enlarge
