Bill, our PHAST Times newsletter is produced using PageStream 1.8
and printed on a SLM804 laser printer (the SLM804 is used at Computer
Works, our local Phoenix area ST store). Our PHAST editor is a guy named Jim Kehoe
who is very happy with version 1.8.

As far as a new manual is concerned if you would call Softlogik I believe that
you would hear that a new manual is available. I read a message on GEnie to
the effect that users who ordered the $25 upgrade to PgS 1.8 got a new
manual. I didn't know that when I sent in my $10 upgrade or I would have
sent for the $25 upgrade.

In any case there is plenty of help for you if you can get a GEnie account.

Good luck with PgS 1.8
