Opening the window to Ventura Publisher

Article Abstract:

The Ventura Publisher Gold Series: Windows Edition utilizes Microsoft Corp's Windows 3.0 graphical user interface for MS-DOS. The product replaces Ventura's menu bar with pop-up windows that can can be resized, moved, and removed from the screen. Windows also allow the viewing of several programs at once. Files are easily imported from a graphics program. Multitasking is possible on Intel 80286-based machines with at least 3Mbytes of RAM. The new macro recorder saves time by combining a series of keystrokes into one command. Ventura 2.0's Professional Extension and its Network Server utilities are included. The program lacks a simple method for deleting files associated with a particular chapter. It also lacks color support, and requires better ways to revise documents. The list price is $895. An upgrade costs $250.
