: i run it under win95, but had to close some Cardware utilities to avoid errors(i think some tsr's could throw it off)--the company itself was bought by First Pub and the app disappeared--personally i alwys felt the DOS versions had Microsoft Pub beat!: : : : I've been using Express Publisher by PowerUp! for some time and like it a lot. However, I can't seem to find PowerUp to inquire with regard to a Win95 update to Publisher. Anyone have info?

: : : : I have Windows 3.11 Version 3.0, it is not compatible with windows 98 and will try loading it into windows 95 this week: 6-8-99.

: : : 8-20-99, EP 3.0 not compatible with Windows 95 or 98....tried loading and failed.

: : Express Publisher for Windows /is/ compatible with Windows 95/98 - I'm running it. You get some odd error messages from time to time and occasionally there are glitches with cut and paste. Also you have to be running Adobe Type Manager 2.0 or 2.5 because the program won't run with 32 bit versions.

I'm also running it with Win98 (only have version 1.0 for Windows, tho'.

It's been completely discontinued (last known owner was The Learning Company), which disappointed me greatly, as I always thought it would grow into a killer app.

I'd dearly love to get my hands on the Windows updates -- not TextAppeal though, for it totally bombs under '95 and later (used some undocumented "features" of 3.1, I suppose.)

Under '98, it doesn't need Adobe Type Manager either and, apart from some minor quirks which I've mostly long since found work-arounds for, it kills just about any similar program I ever found -- at least for jobs under about 20 pages.

Good for colour photo's, CD inserts etc. too!.
