Hi All.
We just tested on Warp 4 FP6 the new version of Maul Publisher and it runs really fine! Well, is not a Page Maker but you can make newspapers, magazines and books with this soft! The great advantage for Warp users is that Maul Publisher is a native WPS application and in this condition don't consumes excessive CPU as an Aldus Page Maker (thats runs on WinOS2, starting a VDM that forces the CPU). Maul Publisher is a full powered desktop publishing application for OS/2 Warp. This is the first major update to Maul Publisher. New frame type introduces spline curves. New frame manipulations are also included. Now includes semi-automated text index creation utility, find and word count, improved text formatting.

Maul Publisher will automatically take care of page numbering in folding booklets, reversal of margins for facing pages, page numbering offsets where you don't want to start from page one, reversal of margins for top bound booklets and top folding booklets, centering margins on printers with odd margins, and multiway folding sheets and maps. In addition, you have full control of column, row, gutter, and centre gutter guides, including the automatic adjustment of page offsets when a number of sheets are bound into a folding  booklet.

Maul Publisher allows the creation of polygons from two points (a line), right through to 180 points. Having created the shape, you can scale it, rotate it, and move it about at will. Each frame may have a foreground, a background, and a border associated with it. Frames can be made transparent or be locked into place once created.

Create any shape, scale it, rotate it, add borders, add backgrounds, add foregrounds. You can have shapes with text on text, text on pictures, pictures on text... borders, no borders, colours, two colours, no colour. All this manipulation incorporates accurate snap and lock functions for total precision, i.e. to 0.01mm, 0.001", 0.1 points, or 1 printer pel, rotation and scaling included! Maul Publisher
will fully justify text within any shaped polygon, flow around other polygons of any shape, avoid running into borders within it's own shape and other overlapping shapes.

You can manipulate text like you have never seen before. Rotate it, stretch it, shear it, tilt it, kern it, colour it. You can alter paragraphs, use left and right hand indenting rules, add custom tab tables, alter spacing on a line by line basis. You can automatically add text dates and times in your own language, extract a contents page automatically, and check your spelling.

Maul Publisher provides master pages, frame style sheets, text style sheets, title extraction styles, full undo and redo. Maul Publisher is modular and can be expanded with custom modules for a multitude of tasks such as importing or exporting other data formats, colour management, or scanning for example.
