I am considering the purchase of NBI Corp's Legend software or IBM's Interleaf Publisher for desktop publishing on a pc. Does anyone have any experience with either of these products? How do they handle equations? The hardware platform for this software is a 386-20 VGA system. I know that the first release of Legend had many bugs. Please e-mail responses directly to me. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used Interleaf on a PC, but I have used it on a SUN, and I have spoken with associates who _have_ used it on a PC. My suggestion is: go for it. Everyone who uses both versions says the PC version is very much akin to the full-blown Sun version, fast, powerful, etc., etc. I've been told that you need a minimum of 2 megs of RAM to run Interleaf on a PC, but if you can cover the ~$800 price tag of the software, and have the other hardware to run with (VGA, etc.) then adding memory to make this sucker run is well worth the time, effort, and bucks.
