Amazing.

A friend of mine ws reviewing this package for a magazine. He kept
emailing me PostScript files.

They flat out did not work. The illustrations cale out all one colour
(grey) ans the text came out clipped along the left margin. Now if these
were files of his own making I might have some sympathy. But these were the
demo files supplied with the package.

All I kept thinking when I kept seeing garbage come out of the printer
was "God, this program is going to sell a lot of Mac's".

My friend was told to hold the review until the next version came out.
It didnt, it was late, the article went to press.

The upgrade finally arrived, and still doesnt do correct postscript
output.

If I had bought this package, I'd be furious. I use my own software
to play with postscript however.

There is at least one REALLY GOOD DTP package that outputs postcript,
It's propage, I believe. Nice.
