The only other program that I know of, and have copies of disk images
of, is GeoPublish which was the GEOS answer to Publish It!. If you'd
like a copy of it let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. I've seen
several sites with info, and programs, for the Commodore 64/128
version of GEOS. In fact someone did an update to Commodore GEOS that
they called Wheels, but I can't find it anywhere.
