Yes, they still exist and are located here in Hawai`i. They moved recently
so I don't have a current office address, but their phone number is
	(808) 396-6368

Their old address (I assume the post office will forward)
	7192 Kalanianaole Highway Suite 205, Honolulu, HI

I used their Printworks for the Mac, Laser version, for over a year with
a HP-LJ+ compatible and was very happy with the products functionality and
reliability. The only drawback is that the printer should have 1MB or more,
as the driver creates a full-page bitmap for download to the printer.

SoftStyle is an entrepreneurial success story. Craig Slayter, the founder of
SoftStyle, started out with a hardware add-on called the MacEnhancer and a
line of printer drivers for the Mac. From a small company tucked away
in a suburb of Honolulu, selling mostly by mail-order, they built up
a successful track record. About six months ago, they were bought out
by Phoenix Technologies, and are now the Pacific/Asian division of Phoenix.
As a part of the buyout, Craig was appointed general manager for the
Pacific/Asian division.
