I haven't got any problem with those, >but I like to know what problems you had. When we had a bunch of people using Manuscript, we would tend to get VM1 errors in the Manuscript program when doing whatever (usually a print final job). Even though we configured the program to use a meg of EMS (we had at least that much if not more) and the local hard drive for their virtual memory management, we would constantly get this error. The other bad thing is that it forces you to have EMS 4.0 rather than 3.2, so that you couldn't run it on cheaper machines that come with EMS 3.2 (like the AST Bravo line). As for printer drivers, we tend to have some of the wildest printer collection around. I'm not sure if Lotus has them but we don't have drivers for our HP laserjet IIID right now, or the ability to use Adobe Type I fonts that aren't part of the driver (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this one). I wouldn't mind seeing a postscript HP Laserjet IID driver or a IIID driver for that matter (duplex postscript printing from two different bins would be nice :).
