I just called SoftLogik to see if there was a newer version of
Publishing Partner than 1.01.  The answer is 1.03, about 1 year
ago, but they didn't know if it fixed the bug I reported in February, 87.
(The bug is that a round cornered box of size 0 creates bad PostScript -
causes the PostScript interpreter to get an error.  You, of course, can't
delete this box because it has no size so you can never click on it.)

Anyway, here is the new news.  They claim that they will have a real
version of Page Stream available next Monday that works.  I groaned and
told them what was wrong with the last one.  They claim:
	* to have it debugged
	* to have a document conversion program
	* to have a font conversion program
	* to care about the bad reviews and hope to correct that

I elected to settle for the PP 1.03 release for now but, maybe, they
are starting to get their act together.  I would have abandoned them long
ago except I need PostScript output and have a bunch of existing PP
format documents.
