Speed: Well, automatic repagination in the first place; VERY fast with 1 Meg
and no MultiFinder, or MultiFinder and a partition larger than 1 Meg.  I've
been running it on a 2.5 Meg Mac+ and a standard Mac+; under these
conditions, it works very well.  This is with loads of graphics sidebars
(most of them floating and wrap-around); the only time I found it slow was
an occasional re-painting delay when scrolling through the document -- and
it was still faster than Word's repainting.

My editor at MacHorizons better get on the stick and switch to this...
ComputerWare is taking advance orders for it for $195 -- anyone know of a
better price, mail-order wise?  List is supposed to be $395, so I am
wondering if Programs Plus's claim of $169 was premature.

                               A new policy requiring random drug testing of
                               all airline pilots runs into a snag when
                               nearly half of the Delta pilots are unable to
                               hit the specimen bottle.
