  Yup, I use it, and I'm quite satisfied with it.  I haven't found any
  major problems with it.  Ami even comes with macros that allow you to
  print envelopes by shading an address within a letter and insert ANSI
  characters from a prompt list.

  Yes, I find this also to be the case.  I believe it's slow (especially
  using Type Managers like ATM) because it prints everything in graphics
  mode.  If I had a true PostScript printer it would probably run much
  faster.  However, to get around this problem I'm going to get a
  printspooler.

  Yes, I'm one!  What I'd like to know is if there are any Ami macro
  writers out there.  I'd *love* to get some shareware/freeware macros!
  In particular, I'd like to find a macro similar to the W4W "dinger"
  program so that I can insert symbols/dingbats/carta characters.  Is
  there an Ami guru out there that can help?
