What is Aldus PageMaker 3.x?

In PageMaker 3 0, Aldus has managed to shore up the most conspicuous weaknesses of the league-leading Macintosh desktop publishing package's earlier releases, while preserving all the familiar and convenient user-interface characteristics that so many people like.

To a large degree, version 3.0 represents a catch-up product: with the exception of an advanced system for defining and applying spot color, there is little here not already offered by the competition. In fact, some significant deficiencies persist from previous versions. Still, PageMaker 3.0 is a solid product and one of the top desktop publishing contenders.

PageMaker was always a big program, but suddenly it’s gigantic — now requiring a full 3.3 megabytes of hard disk space if you install the entire package, including the help files and utilities. In the process of bulking up, PageMaker has lost the ability to run on a floppy disk system, but that should improve its performance reputation — it has been unbearably slow when running from floppies. PageMaker 3.0 moves along at an acceptable pace on a hard disk.
