I completely agree about PageStream. Its structured drawing tools are by far the
easiest-to-use I've seen (and that includes ProDraw, XCad, and Adobe Illus-
trator). Its circle and oval arc tools in particular are extremely easy to
figure out and operate. The 2.0 version of PageStream also has Compugraphic
font support (just like ProPage), and, on my machine, crashes a LOT less
often than ProPage 1.3 does.

        I realize that the earlier versions of PageStream got a lot of
well-deserved flaming over the many bugs and poorly-designed features, but
Soft-Logik has done a terrific job over the last year of fixing things.
PageStream 2.0 can hold its head up quite well next to PageMaker and
Quark Express, and (I think) it beats ProPage 1.3 hands down. (ProPage 2.0
is about 6 weeks from shipping, BTW, but it still uses those ^%$%$#@ Bezier
curves...)
