NOTE TO BBS OPERATORS
---------------------
If you are a BBS operator, please review the "EnVision Publisher Disk
Contents" section below to ensure that you have all the files.
Please post EnVision Publisher with the following keywords:
ENVISION PUBLISHING DTP TYPESETTING LAYOUT PRINT FONT SHAREWARE ASP
We recommend that you archive all the files on disk 1 (see below) in a
file called EVP154A.*, and all the files on disk 2 (see below) in a file
called EVP154B.*, where the "*" stands for (ZIP, ARC, LZH, EXE, etc.).
However, before you do this you should expand the two self-extracting
files EVP154A.EXE and EVP154B.EXE described below (please note that the
BBS EVP154A and EVP154B files are not the same as the vendor EVP154A.EXE
and EVP154B.EXE described in the "EnVision Publisher Disk Contents" below,
because that the BBS files contain all the vendor files, including the
INSTALL and the READ-ME files.)

What reviewers have said about EnVision Publisher
.................................................
"This is an excellent program that's full of features that simply
haven't been available in Shareware until now. Because of the
programs' excellence, I'm giving it the Shareware Magazine
Editor's Choice Award."
Michael E. Callahan (a.k.a. Dr. File Finder)
SHAREWARE MAGAZINE, Nov/Dec 1992 issue
"There are few layouts that you could not create with EnVision
Publisher. One way or another, this program gives you the tools
to place text and graphics anywhere on your page with all the
styling options most of us will ever need, and that's what
desktop publishing is all about."
Steven Enzer
SHAREWARE UPDATE MAGAZINE, October 1992 issue.
"If you're looking to assemble a newsletter, publication, or
other similar document, this is the best piece of shareware
for the task. You'd do well to give EnVision Publisher a spin."
Preston Gralla
COMPUTER SHOPPER, April 1993 issue.
