PublishIt! was da bomb. :-) I used it to produce the newsletter for the
local Apple user group.  It could generate PostScript output, which I would
upload to a UN*X box at school for printing on their laser printer.  You
couldn't tell that it was put together on an Apple II...it was that good.

(Dot-matrix output wasn't as good as it could've been, though...their
rendering engine only ran at 120x72 dpi, which was the "lowest-common-
denomiator" graphics capability.  I would've preferred the 144x144 or
160x144 dpi that my Imagewriter could deliver.)
