Recently I saw a message somewhere that mentioned a new version of Pagestream being available for an upgrade cost of $75 (I think). I have been patiently waiting to receive word from SoftLogik with the details, since they have in the past always sent out such information to registered PS users. But so far, nothing in my mailbox. Has anyone else received official confirmation/order forms by mail, or do you have detailed information on what the new release contains? If so, please post it. Thanks, -- Layne Jensen jensen@nosc.MIL Naval Ocean Systems Center ...!sdcsvax!noscvax!jensen San Diego, CA

I even wrote a nasty letter to them and didn't get an acknowledgement. I'm one of those fools who plopped down the upgrade fee from the original Publishing Partner and had to endure version 1.00 of PP Professional when it was too buggy to keep running over 5 minutes. Nevertheless, SoftLogik doesn't seem to think it's worth a postage stamp to let me know that a new version is out. No wonder people aren't interested in the Atari ST! -- Bill Meahan WA8TZG uunet!mailrus!umich!pmsmam!wwm I speak only for myself - even my daughter's cat won't let me speak for her!

If so, >please post it. 1.8 became available about six months ago. It crashes less often than 1.5, displays imported bitmaps faster, and most importantly: it lets you install and remove font directories ('suitcases') while you are in the program, and it doesn't load in all ten zillion of your font files when you start it. No other really major features were added, just things like 'Show Column Outline' now shows it as a dashed line, small and large bugs were fixed, etc. 2.0, which people keep discussing, won't be available for a while yet. If you want to talk to SoftLogik about an upgrade, they have customer support at (314) 894 0431 during business hours (Central Time). Version 1.5 users like myself could upgrade for $10 or $25 (the $10 gets you a new program disk, the $25 also has the font disk, which is basically unchanged, and a copy of the new manual, which is much slicker.) I don't know if the offer still stands, but it probably does.
