Haven't got Pagemaker.  I've been using pfs First Publisher for years.  I noted
an ad in the Power-Up catalog offering and upgrade to Express Publisher for
First Publisher owners.  I responded.  EP handles TIFF files and is suppost to
be able to print laser-quality to 24 pin printers.  FP did that but only with
the addition of Publisher's Powerpack.  I've got PP for FP 2.0 but don't have
PP for FP 3.0--the upgrade.  The cost was just too much.  And, FP doesn't
handle TIFF files.  So, I went for the EP deal from PU.  ...huh?
 
Pagemaker remains expensive for occational use; and I have no intention of
burning up CPU time at Kinko's Copies PM on their computers.  Creative works
take long hours of sitting and thinking and trying and sitting and thinking and
trying.  Did "they" ever make PM to work without windows?  I do not like
windows 3.0.  It takes way too many MIPS from my point of thinking.  -Rick-
