	I have been reading about the bugs found in PageStream 1.0 which was
recently shipped.  I know someone who has PageStream for the Atari ST and
also said that the version 1.0 of it was very buggy and crashed within a
few minutes all the time.  He now has the update of 1.5 and it seems like
a fairly stable program and one of the best publishing packages I have seen
on a small computer.  I currently use PageSetter at home which is a big
letdown from the FrameMaker I use at work on a Sun 3/50.  PageStream seems
much closer to FrameMaker and even has many features which FrameMaker does
not, like full rotation of any object.  He also said the output is great
even on a dot-matrix printer compared to the other packages out there.
	Has anyone with PageStream 1.0 contacted Soft-Logick about the upgrade
to it and when it will be available.  On the ST my fried said it took a couple
of months to get it out, I wonder if the time frame will be the same for the
Amiga version.  If you know of anything, I am interested.
