[comp.sys.next] Desk op Publishing on the NeXT/

gaston@cs-sun-ab.cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Gaston Groisman) (11/09/90)

My wife has a lot of experience with Page Maker on the Mac.  Is there
comparable DTP software that will run on the NeXT?

	Thanks

Framemaker is available on NeXT. It is much better than Pagemaker on designing
multi-page documents  and probably a bit weaker  at designing individual pages
(although I  am not sure  here).  Unfortunately, Frame's bugfixing (thanks for
the note; your license didn't say that you had the right to get fixed software
once we'll fix  it)   and upgrade policies ($400/upgrade)  are  horrendous.  I
believe that "Desktop Publishing" magazine, Vol.8 No.6 (Special issue Computer
Buyer's Guide and Handbook) had a review of this combination  on the old NeXT.
I  will probably  sell my old  copy  soon. Should  be even  better  on the new
NeXT...
