Could anyone suggest a reasonable desktop publishing package that is
inexpensive (<$200) and will work with my HP DeskJet inkjet printer.
Also it needs to run on a plain vanilla 286 w/Hercules card, 640K and\
a 20M hard disk. Many thanks.
Warren

Many thanks. > > Warren While I have not used your particular combination, I believe that the PFS First Publisher will do the job for you. The current release is 2.0 and is around $80 or so. It allows you to mix graphics and text (including flowing the text around the picture), modify and create new graphics as well as many other features. I know that it supports most dot matrix printers as well as my Laserjet II so I suspect that it will also support the deskjet printer. Not Pagemaker quality but then not pagemaker price either!!. PC mag rated the earlier release very favorably some time ago and the new release looks even better.
