Publishing Off-ICE (also known as Page-Making-Off-ICE) is a type of desktop publishing program, although it can only handle text and graphics as generated by the constituent programs supplied as part of Publishing Off-ICE.


It requires the [[qlwiki:ICE]] pointer environment complete with Mouse.


The program includes the following tools to help produce the parts of a page, which are then overlaid on top of each other to create the page: 



  * 3D Graphics program - able to draw 3D blocks, triangles and lenses, with a user defined viewpoint and in solid / wireframe graphics.
  * 2D Graphics program - able to draw line, arc, circles/ellipses, rectangles and triangles
  * Char-Block - a program to allow you to layout text within a user defined rectangle.  You can use this to enter user defined characters into the block also.
  * A text editor - this handles a typewriter mode for text entry and you can then transform the text into columns.
  * A bitmap graphics program ([[qlwiki:ArtICE]])
  * Printer output to Cannon / Taxan / Epson compatible printers.


The manual appears as a Quill DOC on the disk.


Not the easiest to use Desktop Publishing Program.
