Well, I've been using AWGS Page Layout for the past year to produce
Shareware Solutions II, and I don't think I've had a single crash or lost
any data or really had any other problems. In fact, all my AWGS problems
seemed to disappear after installing 4 megs of RAM.

There's a few things I had on my wish list for AWGS v2, such as
auto-hyphenation, but the truth of the matter is that AWGS v1.1's Page
layout is quite stable. And, combined with an HP printer, Harmonie and
Pointless, I'd say that the IIGS is quite capable as a desktop publishing
machine.

Just a couple weeks ago, I was talking to a friend that produces a
newsletter using some expensive Mac and QuarkExpress. After looking at
SSII, he proclaimed that I can accomplish things with AWGS that he's been
trying to do in Quark, but has been unable to.
