The document converted from PP to PgS exists, I've used it.  It works
fairly well (I've had some documents that don't go through it, but most do.)
It can be found on GEnie (type SOFTLOGIK) or CompuServe (go AtariVen).
On CompuServe, I have also been told that the upgrade to 1.1 of PgS (about
two weeks ago) has been delayed since they'll release 1.4 instead, then
that 1.4 will not change to 1.5, etc... I think PageStream will be version
*at least* 1.5 by the time they get their first upgrade out.  (There was
also some talk of posting it to services like Genie and CIS.)

Disclaimer: I am not associated with any of the above companies (SoftLogik,
GEnie, CompuServe).
