The only deficiency is the lack of a good printing function.
The printings that I did with it looked rather strange.
About Printing:
From the documentation:
<<<
You can print either by fitting the whole map into one page, or by
printing the map to several sheets of paper. This choice you can set
in menu: File > Page Setup > ... .
Choose page setup landscape. That way it looks better and you have a
better utilization of space.
If you want to preview your map before you print it and have a
postscript printer or generic postsript driver, you can print the map
into file and view the postscript file view ghostview or similar
software. Beware that if you try to print the map with printer that
does not understand postscript, the resulting file will not be
postscript but probably PCL, which is unusable for you.
You can also print from your browser after exporting map to HTML, or
from Word or Wordpad after copying and pasting the map into it. You
can also export the map into HTML with headings, copy and paste it
into MS Word and print it from there. That way you can change styles
as you want.
2nd -
a. this is a Java application. I was hesitant to try another
Java app after my run in with a certain freeware Java editor - which
shall remain nameless. But this program is pretty fast; beating my
expectations.
b. It runs on either Windows or Linux
c. there is no install routine. You unzip into a folder and
double click the exe file to run it. SO, you can copy the files into
the folder of your choice. Don't like the program? Delete the folder.
That's the way to do it!!
d. The documentation is a mind-map which demonstrates most of
it's uses.
e. The one limitation I've found so far is a lack of searching
ability.
