Well, you might want to try prosper [1], which is another LaTeX
class for making slides.  It has some advantages over ppower4,
but I haven't been able to get the fancier effects to work with
xpdf or gv either. Of course, there's always StarOffice (or Open
Office) if you don't mind making slide the Powerpoint way.
