Here's a chance for any fans of any PC-based typesetting software to
show off to a TeX bigot.  In the interest of fair play, I'm gathering
information about any typesetting software available on PC type
machines.  WYSIWYG systems are most interesting to me; note that TeX or
troff ports are completely uninteresting (I already believe they
work).  So far, I'm pretty ignorant.  I read a short book about "Word
Perfect" and decided that (contrary to what some PC fans here told me)
this program may be an OK word processor/text editor, but it's not
a real typesetter.  What else is out there?  What about PageMaker and
related layout programs?  Bear in mind that the kind of work I do with
TeX involves using a wide variety of features.
