Yup, I use it, and I'm quite satisfied with it. I haven't found any
major problems with it. Ami even comes with macros that allow you to
print envelopes by shading an address within a letter and insert ANSI
characters from a prompt list.

Yes, I find this also to be the case. I believe it's slow (especially
using Type Managers like ATM) because it prints everything in graphics
mode. If I had a true PostScript printer it would probably run much
faster. However, to get around this problem I'm going to get a
printspooler.

Yes, I'm one! What I'd like to know is if there are any Ami macro
writers out there. I'd *love* to get some shareware/freeware macros!
In particular, I'd like to find a macro similar to the W4W "dinger"
program so that I can insert symbols/dingbats/carta characters. Is
there an Ami guru out there that can help?
