I'd also love to know what's happening with GWIII. I have just installed a Zip
8/16 and am now actually in a position to use the program. Until now I have
always used Publish It 4.0 because GWII has been much to slow on my standard
2.8 IIgs for any practical use.
 
While Publish It has many features I like, such as precision sizing of objects,
automatic hyphenation, ability to use EPS graphics, etc, it is sadly lacking in
other areas, such as limited choice of fonts (only 26 separate font files, not
families, at a time), extremely limited text buffer, regardless of how much RAM
is available, and lack of support for real headers, footers, etc.
 
Despite its shortcomings, though, PI is a very good DTP program if you don't
ask too much of it. Even though I now have the Zip GS installed, the features I
like about PI 4.0 still outweigh the advantages of GWIII's desktop integration.
Exactly what new features CAN we expect to see in GraphicWriter III v 2.0?
 
Alternatively, does anyone know of the projected release date of
Publish It 5.0?   :-)
