[comp.sys.mac.apps] What's a good desktop publishing package?

mudpit@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu (dan quoidbach) (07/17/90)

Hello, a friend of mine is interested in getting a desktop publishing package
to run on an SE/30.  He's never used one before (neither have I) and he
asked me to run this by the net.folks.  We've both heard of Pagemaker but 
know little about it.  Could someone provide me with a list of decent programs
and a little blurb about their quality?  I'm not sure what his power 
requirements are going to be, but, knowing my friend, it had better be easy
to learn and use ;-) .  Thanks in advance for the help.  Please send your
wisdom to  mudpit@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu. 


Sincerely yours in sincere sincerity,

Dan Quoidbach

I like FullWrite Professional (especially at the MacConnection price of $99
with FullImpact & dBase Mac included).  But Version 1.0 has a few problems,
such as font spacing on the screen.  Is there a new version out?

Has anybody tried FrameMaker?  Does it blow away FullWrite Pro?  (It should,
for the price...)
