Hello, World.

I don't know if this is the right group, but I try ...

I'm looking for T*H*E bets Desktop Publishing Package (or something
like it) in the world. Previous evaluations left two possible candidates,
namely:

	1- Apple MacIntosh with a lot of software

	2- FrameMaker for SUN's

These two packages are basically the same. They include a set of FULLY
integerated software, that is, a WYSIWYG Word Processor, A (simple) 2D Drafting
Package, a Spelling Checker and an Equation program (WYSIWYG eqn.).

Now I've heard rumors about MS-DOS Ventura, and I want to give it a fair change
too. So I would like an answer to the following questions about Ventura:

1. Is it WYSIWYG ? (What You See Is What You Get)

2. Is it an integrated package like FrameMaker ?
   That is, does it come with a WYSIWYG word processor, graphics package etc ?

3. Is it as easy to use as Mac's stuff or FrameMaker ?

4. What hardware do I need minimally ?

5. Can it do the same as Mac/FrameMaker ?

I would be very gratefull if someone can tell me what I need to know.
Please reply by E-mail.

Thanx a lot in advance, greetings.
