According to other posters in this group Excellenc3.0 is indeed very nice but 
there are some bugs in the postscript support and also in the way it prints to 
non-postscript printers. Well not really a bug to the non-ps printers but just
that it prints like a screen dump at screen resolution instead of the printers
have you had any experience with the above?

We the people are not free. Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does 
that mean? It means that we choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. We elect
expensive masters to do our work for us, and then blame them because they work
for themselves and for their class. -Helen Keller  --> k198df@tamuts.tamu.edu
