I'm trying to decide on a page composition program for
use on a Macintosh IIx.

I've narrowed the choice to Quark Xpress and Aldus Pagemaker.
I'd like to hear what the advantage and disadvantage of each
of these programs are, strengths and weaknesses, etc.

The conventional wisdom so far has been "Xpress is better for
long documents...offers more typographic control" and that
"Pagemaker is easier to use...." Can anyone confirm, deny,
explain, expound?

If replying by e-mail, please use one of the addresses below.

Thanks.
