Does a laser printer exist? Can I easily buy one? Yes it does exist, but only a few have shipped to dealers in the USA. Which makes it not so easy to buy one at this moment. We are optimistic that a better supply situation will exist shortly. > 2. Does Desktop Publishing software for the ST exist? Yes, there are several titles now and more coming. Right now the favorite seems to be Publishing Partner from Softlogik. The latest revision (1.3) of this one supports the Atari laser, as well as dot- matrix printers and Postscript. Easy Draw 2.0 is also popular, and it uses GDOS which makes Atari laser printer support automatic. Fleet Street Publisher is also available, and they tell me the next rev (due at any moment) also supports the Atari laser printer. On the way are Deskset, a typesetting package from G.O. Graphics and being sold by Atari; Publishing Partner 2.0 with some great improvements and speedups; and a full-featured DTP package from Migraph (the Easy Draw folks); but not, so it now seems, Ready Set Go, which is not going. -- --->Neil Harris, Director of Marketing Communications, Atari Corporation UUCP: ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil GEnie: NHARRIS/ WELL: neil / BIX: neilharris / Delphi: NEILHARRIS CIS: 70007,1135 / Atari BBS 408-745-5308 / Usually the OFFICIAL Atari opinion
