1.1 Beta!! ImPressTM  is a WYSIWYG layout program designed especially for Linux.  It allows you to create presentations and Postscriptdocuments using fully scalable graphics similar to programs like Macromedia Freehand, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator and Visio.  It is different from raster graphic packages like gimp, Adobe PhotoShop and Jasc's PaintShop Pro in that it deals with graphical objects which can be manipulated on a canvas rather than just layers of paint.

I cannot guarantee the ability to use this software using Microsoft operating systems. This is an BETA release....you can expect some problems.
