Yes it does exist, but only a few have shipped to dealers in the USA.
Which makes it not so easy to buy one at this moment. We are optimistic
that a better supply situation will exist shortly.
> 2. Does Desktop Publishing software for the ST exist?
Yes, there are several titles now and more coming. Right now the
favorite seems to be Publishing Partner from Softlogik. The latest
revision (1.3) of this one supports the Atari laser, as well as dot-
matrix printers and Postscript. Easy Draw 2.0 is also popular, and it
uses GDOS which makes Atari laser printer support automatic. Fleet
Street Publisher is also available, and they tell me the next rev (due
at any moment) also supports the Atari laser printer.
On the way are Deskset, a typesetting package from G.O. Graphics and
being sold by Atari; Publishing Partner 2.0 with some great improvements
and speedups; and a full-featured DTP package from Migraph (the Easy Draw
folks); but not, so it now seems, Ready Set Go, which is not going.
