        Oh come on. If you are talking DTP then lets talk Interleaf or
Adobe. Wordperfect and Word are just that wordprocessors. I used
Interleaf years ago to do things that Word and Wordperfect are just
thinking of doing. Entire books and even collections of books with
hyperlinks, etc. was child's play. And talk about Reveal Codes!
Interleaf was even programable at the formating code level so that you
could produce several differently formated versions of the same document
based on the results of a query or user input. And that was in 1992!!

        PS. Most really good DTPs don't run well on PCs either, Unix or
Mac is where they shine for many reasons.
