: Has anyone compared AMI Pro to Describe?  advantages / disadvantages????

Yup, me. I'll approach it from the AP/2 side.  THe short story is that
AmiPro/2 is best run on at least a 486cpu with at least 12MB of RAM.  I
ran AmiPro/2 3.0b on both a 386 with 8mb ram and a 486 with 12 and found
the difference to be remarkable.  AP/2 performs well with the 12MB of ram
setup.  AP/2 has almost every feature under the sun.  I especially like
its preview of documents before converting, its powerful outline features,
...etc.  My own opinion is that from top to bottom it is a program
designed for the business person and not the academic/professional writer
(you're talking to an ex-NotaBene user here).  My top three preference
list is (1) ClearLook (coming up to par real fast), (2) AmiPro/2, (3)
DeScribe, and have been hearing a lot about (4) StarWriter.
