If not, I would suggest other rudimentary desktop-publishing books before this one. And I don't know that the book would be particularly useful to Next users--the appendices ignore the next in favor of PC, Amiga and Mac products and procedures, and some of the advanced effects used heavily by the authors are not available in the Next environment. Recommended reading for anyone designing the ultimate Next design environment, though. :-) --KR UUCP: {amdahl!bungia, crash}!orbit!pnet51!reichard ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!reichard@nosc.mil INET: reichard@pnet51.orb.mn.org

You can do anything you want in design on the NeXT... you might have to do it in PostScript(tm), though! Dave Brown (brownd@thor.acc.stolaf.edu)
