  Publishing Partner Professional (from Soft Logic) is due out "the
second week of March", which is this week.  I ordered it direct two
months ago after seeing Gold Disk's Professional Page (words can't
describe it).  Anyway, unlike Professional Page, Publishing Partner
does not force the user to postscript output only.  In fact, they
state that they will drive your printer to it's maximum resolution,
regardless of whether it is ps compatible or not.  Looks like an HP
Laserjet series 2 and Publishing Partner is the way to go for low
cost Amiga desktop publishing.  It also supports color, comes with
color seperation at no extra cost, and all of the other neat things
that Professional Page advertises.  But, until it is released, it's
not better than anyth...
