We are proud to say that SoftQuad Publishing Software (a dramatic
enhancement of, but still backward compatible with, DWB2.0) was
one of the very first software products available for Apple's A/UX
on the Mac II, and, in fact, was exhibited at Apple's A/UX launch
at last February's Dallas UNIFORUM and virtually every Apple A/UX
show since then in both North America and Europe.  We started
shipping last April.

Customers appreciate the ability we provide to preview PostScript
output on the Mac II. SoftQuad's Mac II screen previewer requires
NeWS, available from the Grasshopper Group in San Francisco.
