No, we never did use VP for Win. Too many of my colleagues around
Minneapolis warned me to stay away from the first VP for Win
releases. I heard that the latest release is much improved, however.
Besides, we were happy with VP/GEM, and it uses direct printer &
display drivers for the older LaserMaster products we were using.

Faith, I think you will be glad you checked out FrameMaker. I hope
you get the room to begin breathing again soon.
