When I was young, I used to publish a newsletter for our stickball
league using a publishing program on the 64 which featured multiple
columns and clip-art. It wasn't Geos based, but was a popular package
at the time. Can someone throw some potential titles out for me?
Thanks.

And wasn't Newsroom published by Springboard?

Another possibility would be Print Shop published by Broderbund.

Are you thinking of Paperclip Publisher? I used that for turning
out our club alternate newsletter, C= Voyages.

They had that on the 64? That was the definitive DTP program for the
Apple ][.

Looking right at it on the shelf -- did several projects in junior high
on my Oki 10 with Newsroom. Most of Springboard Software's titles were
on both platforms, actually.

That's it, The Newsroom. That Okidata 120 was a workhorse.
