Hi. Sorry if this has been covered before. 

Many thanks to folks who have directly answered my previous queries and to 
net friends like Mr. Covert whose postings have been a great help. But a few
questions remain unanswered. Hope YOU can help :-)

My "project" is to "publish" a report/thesis in the form of a book using
an ATARI ST (Mega 2 hopefully as soon as my 1040 is sold) and a Laserprinter.
This will be a mostly text project with some layout graphics but not much of
"clip art" or photos I think.

I am told Calamus with a mono monitor and HP Laserjet will do the job.
Q. Does Calamus REQUIRE a Hard Drive? Is Atari Megafile 30 OK?

I was hoping to use Xerox Ventura or Pagemaker for the PC under the software
version of PC Dito when I do get the hard drive. Reason: so my files could be
used on someone else's IBM PC also.
Q. Is this possible? I guess it will be SLOOOOW but will it work? Suggestions?

Q. How much can I get Calamus for? Any chance to see it run on COlor STs?

I am in urgent need of this help and would really appreciate your cooperation.


Thanks

Imran Anwar
