- Yes! Please! Definitely! At work I still use Wordmarc on VAX purely
- because of these functions, it is dreadfully slow and obstructive
- otherwise. I have not yet had time to properly learn Framemaker on
- this XTerminal but it offers much the same referencing power, and
- many of my colleagues use it and on first impressions it seems to be
- much like FinalWriter.
-
- I use FinalWriter by choice since all my output is Postscript, and
- none of the other Amiga WP were as good on my LJIIIP + PS. I started
- with FW2.1 and upgraded to FW3.0 with its EPS print bug and failure
- to release ~300k of memory on exit - each time accumulative! Even so
- I still use it almost every day, and print from FW2.1, and invoke
- "avail flush" automatically on exit!
-
- I did not upgrade to FW4 because I could not get any assurance
- these two bugs were fixed, and there was no auto referencing.
