and found it full of bugs, slow, and difficult to use, but by far
the best IBM package. It actually _does_ do everything you want with
a lot of fuss. (I'm biased as well, since I was using a non-PostScript
printer).

However, I used PM3.0 on Windows 2.xx on an IBM 60M system the other
day and found it about 10 times as fast, easier to use, and with fixes
for all the problems I had found with it. It's comparable to the Mac
3.0 version as far as features go, and actually seems to be about 1/2
as good as the Mac version (as opposed to usually a .1 to .25
efficiency for publishing programs between the IBM and Mac). I like it.
I recommend it.

(Disc: Nothing to do with Aldus. I just use their programs.)
