  Gads, nothing, but nothing, in this whole world could make me switch to that
disgusting piece of garbage.
  But -- that is very disappointing news. I was waiting to buy Corel 5 until
they came out with the promised OS/2 version this year. And mainly because of
Ventura. Guess I can forget that. Does anyone know if Pagemaker or Quark
support XY? I was playing around briefly with Pagemaker just this morning at
work -- seemed quite easy to figure out.
  Maybe this is a major question -- just what DTP app really does make a
significant enhancement for XY? Up until now, I've been able to do an awful lot
of stuff just in the graphics view of XY 4, but since everyone uses those DTP
programs, are they really better for page layout? Say, for use in a small
magazine?
