- Opinions, opinions. If you want to get a taste of PageStream 2.1 (next-to-
- latest version), try the PageStreamDemo on various FTP sites (e.g. wuarchive).
- I think you'll find there's very little to be jealous about (well, the kerning
- controls). The demo version is uglier than a hacker's backyard! The latest
- version, 2.2HL, looks much better, but I don't think that even Hotlinks is
- enough to woo me over. I think ProPage 3.0 is finally the Amiga professional's
- choice in DTP software, for it's stability (no more bugs in style/para tags,
- and it's only crashed on me once since I got it) and ARexx power. However,
- I wish it had ligatures, editable kerning tables, and proper `` and '' marks
- that don't spread apart in justified paragraphs (the Mac and NeXT have them!).
