Here are some of the gory details: > ...... etc. By July, Publishing Partner Professinal was very much behind schedule (at least 6 months). SoftLogik did an informal poll and the response was that most people wanted SoftLogik to ship PP Professinal immediately, eventhough the product was far from finished. What we all received is a VERY VERY unfinished product. The problem was that SoftLogik didn't make that clear in the package that we all received. Yes, the program we received is almost totally useless. The final product should ship within one month. With regard to the fonts, there will be altogether 6 fonts and specific printer drivers. What we see in the diskette we received are generic printer drivers. Hopefully, the final package will be as good as promised. And the full manual will be sent when the final product is ready to go. We just have to keep our fingers crossed for now. What I don't understand is how this product got to be 7 months late and is still unfinished. --Lean -- if you can dream it, you can do it.
