Yeah, me too and I have 1.0 and 1.1.  The really disappointing this is
that rather than fix what is wrong, new features are added.  PP 1.01 does
essentially what we need to do.  Nothing fancy.  We use it to lay out some
of our advertising flyers.  All of our "real" publishing work is done on
the UNIX systems.

But, each new version of PP (now PS) adds a whole bunch of stuff plus some
new bugs.  I have looked at the options and still don't have the right
answer.  FleetStreet 2.0 lacks some stuff.  I don't know if 3.0 is good or
not.  Calamus is wonderful -- I have played with it -- but I need
PostScript output as we ultimately send stuff to a Linotronic.
