Yes, Manhattan Graphics reacquired ReadySetGo and DesignStudio from Letraset,
and have released an improved version of DesignStudio as ReadySetGo 5.0. They
claim that this version is 32-bit clean and System 7 compatible. I purchased
the upgrade from them when they announced it, it seems to be very slick, but
I have not stressed it at all, and have not tested the 32-bit and System 7
claims.

The upgrade was $69.95 + S&H from RSG 4.5 with your serial number, $89.95
from earlier versions, and $29.95 from DesignStudio 2.0. List price is
$395.00 (All prices are U.S.).

I think I recall that Letraset may have retained the international
marketing rights, but you can call Manhattan to find out. The details:

Manhattan Graphics Inc.
250 E. Hartsdale Ave.
Hartsdale, NY 10530
(914)725-2048 (USA)

Hope this helps.
