I am running Aldus PageMaker 1.0a with MicroSoft Windows 386.  The System is an
AT&T  6386  WGS  with a 16MHz clock, 135Mb hard disk with an EDSI card.  I have
had no problems.  I would recommend that you read the README.TXT file (it is in
the  directory  that  you  installed Windows 386 in), and the PostScript readme
file that is on the driver disk (I believe it is disk number  two).   The  only
thing that I did was to convert the Bitstream screen fonts.

I have a question of any PageMaker/Windows/PostScript user:

PostScript knows the extended character set.  PageMaker shows the characters of
the screen.  The PostScript printer (both a QMS 800-II and VT600 Plus) show the
character  as  a  dot.   What  is  wrong?   Is  it   the   PostScript   Driver?
(PSCRIPT.DRV)?   It  happens with every driver that I have used.  (Bitstream [I
have two of these], Aldus, MicroSoft [I have two of these also].)
