I can confirm that Pagemaker 1.1 does run with the Mac+ as well as on the
new ROMS under HFS. However, with the new Chooser, the laserwriter must be
named 'LaserWriter' or Pagemaker may not be able to find it. Also, under
HFS, it occasionally cannot find Aldus Prep and the Help Folder. However, I
understand that PageMaker 1.2 (due out in March at no charge to 1.1 owners)
has fixed these minor problems. I've been running Pagemaker on my new Mac+
and it works great - with the expanded memory environment and with either
the Switcher or the RAM cache program, it runs very swiftly.
