>Questions about desktop publishing on IIEs and access to this newsgroup.
PublishIt by timeworks is to Apple II desktop publishing what AppleWorks is to
Apple integrated software. It does an excellent job, now supports Postscript
printers and is not at all hard to learn. Good manual and frequent updates,
plenty of artwork, templates and fonts available.
One drawback. Is a bit slow at 1mz. At 4mz it's quit respectable. 1 3.5"
drive or 2 5.24" drives or a hard disk highly recomended. IIe must be enhanced
and have at least 128K. InCider/A+ magazine has a regular monthly column on
using PublishIt! You can even order templates by mail.
If you have a modem and communications program for your Apple you should be
able to access this newsgroup through one of the following ProLine BBS's.

I'm on a GS right now and connected through the WELL. Pubnets can be a good way to connect to usenet through a personal computer. Some, like the WELL, charge by the hour of usage however. : -- Avery Ray Colter Internet: avery@well.sf.ca.us | {apple|hplabs}!well!avery o/~ Mama, mama, mama, keep those skinny girls at home, o/~ `Cause this skinny boy wants a BIG FAT BLONDE! - The Rainmakers
