Ok, I'll bite, what is Calamus.  We are really a UNIX shop but use
the Atari and Publishing Partner (the old one with well defined bugs)
to produce PostScript for inclusion in our flyers and stuff.  We have
also used it to produce some other flyers.

But, I had one version of PageStream which I sent back.  I would be
happy with old PP with the bugs fixed but that doesn't seem like what
they have planned.  So, what is Calamus?  Or, the real question for
us is, will it produce PostScript?
