In response to sundc!eli!geller

I'm using Ventura on an IBM PC with 20meg hard disk and a HP Laserjet II
printer.  I've had good luck with Ventura, but some of the little things,
i.e., no memory on page ranges to print, etc., do irritate me a little.
The package has, on the whole, been satisfactory.

The main problems I've had have been with Ventura doing strange and 
mysterious things with my documents after I've tried re-formatting
some text, for example, changing the font of some text I entered as
Box Text.  I was working with about a 16-page document, so memory
wasn't full, or shouldn't have been.  It has on different occasions,
with little warning, deleted or trashed parts of my text.  All of the
articles I'm putting together are entered in Wordstar format, and I'm
making a newspaper format-newsletter with about 20 articles or so.  I've
just gotten used to saving the chapter frequently as I go along, which
means I can usually get out pretty well if things get completely
screwed up.  I've seen it get so bad that when I exit from Ventura,
the software can't reload GEM because of memory allocation problems,
and the system is well and truly hung....

I'm hoping that Version 1.1 fixes some of the problems....
