I have just received VP2.0. I would appreciate any information on bugs. Here is some information that I have on both VP1.1 and VP2.0: VP 1.1: (with patch) will refuse to reload a chapter if either of the following conditions is true: 1) The chapter file exceeds 64K 2) Any file appears in the file list (frame mode) more than once. VP 2.0 1) Working with rotated type is very strange. For controllable results, it should be limited to one paragraph per frame. Use line breaks to get multiple lines rather than multiple paragraphs. (There may be some combination of rotations and allignments that works better, but I haven't found it.) 2) If either a frame or a text box is too small to contain the text entered, an error box appears notifying you of this fact. ...and appears, and appears,... In some cases, the frame may disappear so you can't delete it but you will get the error dialog box forever after on every frame operation. (I would appreciate any information on this.) 3) The 2 bugs from 1.1 may also apply -- I didn't test them. I would appreciate any additional information on bugs. If this was posted to the net before I joined several months ago, please accept my appologies. I will summarize any replies. Thanks in advance. Jim Winer ..!lzfme!jwi I believe in absolute freedom of the press. I believe that freedom of the press is the only protection we have from the abuses of power of the church, from the abuses of power of the state, from the abuses of power of the corporate body, and from the abuses of power of the press itself. Those persons who advocate censorship offend my religion.

I'm considering purchasing Xerox Ventura Publisher, but it doesn't directly support my H.P. Deskjet (inkjet) printer. Xerox tells me that I'll have to spend $199 on "Publisher Powerpack", which would also give me lots of things I don't want or need (at least not right away). Does anyone know of a (legal) workaround for this? Any info at all would be appreciated....incluing info on other serious desktop publishing packages which support the Deskjet. Thanks. //=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=\\ || Larry J.

(larry hughes) asks about inexpensive alternative drivers for Xerox Ventura
Publisher and H.P. DeskJet printers.
You can purchase HP Deskjet drivers for Ventura Publisher from Digital
Research for *a lot* less than $199. Contact Digital Research for more
information.
