No need to wory, Dot Matrix output is in Pro Page right now and will be shipping as V1.1 (free upgrade to registered owners) in March. PostScript printer prices are in Freefall right now. I've seen adds for $3000. and I woiuldn';t be surprised to see to see $2000 by the end of '88. HP support will be in shorlty after V1.1. (Actually the preferences support for the HP is not too shabby as it is with the V1.3 drivers!). The thing you have to remember about Pro Page is that it was originally conceived as a Professional Product to be used in an envirom\nment where PS Laser printers already existed. We didn't really think there was a need for Dot matrix outpout abd didn't want to delay the release for that. Evidently we were wrong, so it's in V1.1. INcidently we've also decided to build in the Color Seperation capability into the program rather than sell it as a seperate module. That'll also be in V1.1 as a free upgrade. Arno Krautter
