I am interested in information about the "best" desktop publisher
that is available.  I am just beginning a small documentation, typesetting
shop and would like some information.  I currently have a 386SX 20Mhz,
with SVGA monitor.  I should have the power to handle a package.
I don't want to run out and buy something without some input.  I also
will get a Hewlett Packard LaserJet III soon.  I have had the opportunity
to use a postscript LN03R and have used the HP III and like it.  For the
price I think it is an excellent machine.   I will also take any advice on
equipment.  I figure if I need postscript I can get a cartridge later???

I would like scallable fonts from 4-127? helv. and times roman.  A driver
for the HP III would be best.  I don't necessarily want to spend 'tons'
of money without being able to see a demo.  Can anyone recommend a 
package.  Any and all recommendations are appreciated.  E-mail to the
following address.  Thanks in advance.
