Haven't worked within 1 meg constraints, but,

The 2.0 manual states "The maximum number of pages for a single
document is 254, assuming sufficient free memory." The most I've done
is around 10, & I didn't track memory usage when I was doing it.

> useful:
I would say that depends on what else you wish to have running in your
environment whilst using PageStream.  I usually loose around 600k when
I invoke it. I consider PageStream extremely useful & pretty much leave
it's toolbox hanging around on my workbench screen all the time now,
but then & have a 5 meg 2500/20. I have run it with no problems on my
A1000 with 2 meg ram & A590 also.

PS2.0 also works very nicely with the virtual screen in Workbench 2.0 I
made my workbench screen big enough for a full-size portrait or
landscape page to let me just scroll around without having to redraw
everything or resize.  Pretty nice...

My turn:
Has anyone had success importing AegisDraw files into PS2.0? If so, how
about AegisDraw files generated by Plplot :^)?

Thanks
