I have not had any experience with it as of yet. I currently use MAX-10 and had
hoped to write an OS-9 version but at this point my programming skills are
sadly lacking for the task. It sounds as if you are unhappy with NEWSPAPER 09.
 I had planned on buying it. Could you be a little more specific in what you
find wrong with it. SInce MAX-10 is the undisputed standard for comparison for
 COCO dtp's what are NEWSPAPER 09's faults. I would guess: too small of buffer,
not enough control, columns graphics, etc. not enough fonts, too slow. I wish
it were simple to port MAX-10 over to OS-9. If it were possible to do so, and
then have a utility to convert the font disks over, I for one would gladly pay
the $79.95 that I originally paid for MAX-10 all over again. Colorware never
seemed interested, but it raises a question, could such a porting be done if
one had the source code?

I am interested in seeing an indept review of NEWSPAPER09. Best wishes,
