I've used it on the Amiga as well, great program, it was easy to use and had loads of great options. !
Having been one of those who mentioned Pagestream 4.1 as a potential DTP solution I thought I should send an update. I purchased the 4.1 version while the March sale was going on. I can't say I'm disappointed yet (as I really expect to be delighted soon), but there certainly isn't enough functionality for me to recommend it to others. I have faith that this program will soon be an excellent option for Linux Desktop Publishersl, but as of now I couldn't recommend it to someone who actually needed it to get work done. (even the install required searching the mailing list for info, no INSTALL text file included yet) The current version is listed as 4.1 beta, but in linux terms I might suggest alpha is a more appropriate title. The 4.1 aspect is in regards to the functionality that will be available when the porting (from the Amiga/Mac/Winders versions) has been completed. Bottom line, not usable yet, but keep an eye on the development if you need this kind of program. Hope this info is useful. - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+idhnBwgxlylUsJARAuFxAKCIR+Badc+idz8DoZoZ9tOp9z5P1gCfbpWb aX9ZSFlIIubcm009zDh/vNw= =yd4N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
