Thanks, Arno. Since you have a "vested interest" in Gold Disk and PageSetter, I know that PageSetter is out and at my nearest software dealer. However, the people there don't know really anything about PageSetter, and they won't let me open up a copy to see what it does. Can you answer some questions about PageSetter? What type of fonts are available for the system? Are there any regular typesetting fonts, such as Helvetica or Korinna, Oracle or Century Schoolbook? Or even Times Roman? Is there word wrap capability? What about available type sizes? What is the smallest and largest type sizes available? (sorry, What are…) What capability is there of making odd-sized pages? What kind of flexibility is there on page size? Can you make items such as calendars with the system? What is your opinion on the output? In terms of the output printer, what is your opinion as to the best quality output device for PageSetter? Has the PostScript option been made available yet? Not that I'm going to spring $4,200 for an Apple Laserwriter any time soon, but someday the prices will fall and that's when I'd want to get a better printer than my Epson FX-80. I have other questions, but I think this is enough to start. Thanks for your input, Rno! ===Ken
