🚀 go-pugleaf

I took a look at Interleaf at MacExpo. Let me say ahead of time that,
having worked with Interleaf on Sun's, I'm not a big fan of interleaf.
It is hard to use and non-intuitive. It also ignores the Sun user interface,
preferrring to go off and redefine menus handling and mouse buttons
their way. This makes it even harder to use because once you get used
to working on a Sun, you have to re-learn everything to use Interleaf.

Well, I hate to say it, but they did the same on the Mac. Interleaf uses
Interleaf's interface, completely ignoring Mac interface guidelines. It's
also big (requires 2 megs on a Mac II, mac SE or smaller not supported).
It's also expensive, somewhere around $2000 more than any equivalent
functionality on the Mac. 

As far as I can tell, it is designed primarily for folks who want to use Mac
II's in shops that have already committed to compatibility with interleaf on
other machines. I don't see why anyone else would look at it, when you could
put together a set of products (Ready, Set, Go! 4.0, Word or Fullwrite,
Adobe Illustrator or Freehand) that would blow it away for much less money.
