Ventura Publisher was a feature-rich product long before FM was bought from Frame by Adobe, but after several years on nondevelopment by Xerox (after purchasing VP from Ventura Software), the market share was easily taken over by FM. Corel bought VP and resumed development, but now there has been no release in the past 3.5 years. (You can still buy Corel Ventura 10, but you can't get a demo or eval copy.) So it looks like a repeat of the Xerox situation. I don't know anyone who still uses VP. Too bad; it used to be a great product. Btw, I have a copy of Xerox VP 3.0 still in the shrink-wrapped box. Maybe someday it will be worth something. :) _____________________________ Regards, John Wilcox, Technical Writer Zetron, Redmond _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
