                       - 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, .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. Preview mode is included to allow you to see your
icon as it will appear on the desktop.  We've even added an expanded
install feature that lets you assign one icon to many different file masks
for the greatest flexibility.

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
