I'm new to this group (and to DTP) so forgive me if this has been raised
before.  I will soon be needing to work with a desktop publishing system to
create advertising, pamphlets, and small manuals (<100 pages) on a PostScript
laser printer.  We have 386 MSDOS/Xenix systems and an Amiga 500 with a 20 meg
hard drive available to us.

What issues should we look at when deciding whether to do our DTP on the amiga
with a program like PageStream or under MSDOS?  What MSDOS programs are best
suited to the tasks mentioned above?

Thanks in advance to all who share their experience with me...
