I have a copy of Timeworks Desktop Publisher, ver 1.10. I was wondering if there is a newer version out there. The copy I have is (c) 1987, so I assume there may have been upgrades. I haven't heard anything from Timeworks since I sent in my registration card. Please e-mail replies, I'll summarize if the need arises.

There is another version, 1.12, which supports Postscript output to disk but
there are none after that. Usual Atari vendor support!
I would have emailed but there's not much else to say.

Usual Atari vendor support! This is both right and wrong. Electric Distribution (or GST, or Softline, or whatever name they're using for this purpose) have just last month (Feb 91) issued an update. Confusingly, this is still version 1.12, but they're officially calling it v1.h12. There are no amazing new features. TT support is added, and allegedly the installation procedure works better. Various unspecified bugs are said to have been fixed. Pressing 'esc' now redraws the screen. I haven't yet tested whether the 12pt Dutch font for the Atari laser printer now prints questionmarks properly. Oh, and multiple copies are supposed to print properly now. Anyway, the upgrade is available from GST/Electric/Softline in the UK for 8.95 pounds (or 4.95 if you're a Softline member). You need to send in your old master disks. First Word Plus (written by the same outfit) has also been upgraded, to version 3.20TT, and is available at the same price. Again, it's mainly TT compatibility and bug fixes, but you can now choose whether to have a flashing or a steady cursor, hyphenation has been improved by the addition of an exceptions dictionary, and scrolling speed is faster.

I was totally unaware of this update because I was at a severe disadvantage: Our copy is registered, we're Softline members and I wrote to them. Again 'Usual Atari vendor support'. >Graham Thomas, SPRU, Mantell Building, U of Sussex, Brighton, BN1 9RF, UK > INTERNET: grahamt@syma.sussex.ac.uk JANET: grahamt@uk.ac.sussex.syma > BITNET: grahamt%sussex.syma@UKACRL UUCP: grahamt%sussex.syma@ukc.uucp > Phone: +44 273 678165 Fax: +44 273 685865 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !
