Gee, you can read the same articles in this group as the Atari group :-)
I have been running Publishing Partner on the Atari ST for over 2 years.
I reported such bugs as "if you create a round cornered box of 0 size
you cannot delete it and it blows up a PostScript interpreter" and
"you don't have the required comments in your PostScript" two years ago.
Well, to make a depressing story short, they don't know if that have
fixed the first bug and I have heard that you can't even write PostScript
files to disk anymore so I guess that solves the second problem (we
use the ST and PP to produce PostScript files that we include in
UNIX created documents).

Anyway, I sent in the $50 for the upgrade last July +- a month, got
something that I broke within 5 minutes and wasn't compatible with
PP and came with no conversion utilities.  Don't hold your breath
waiting for SoftLogik to ship anything.

Now, the reason I am reading this group is I want to find out
about Professional Page.  At this point I would rather buy an Amiga
and a program that works if that exists.  We are serious users and don't
want to save $100 to get a dog.  Opinions would be appreciated.
