                         DESKTOP PUBLISHERS' BBS LIST

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The following boards are fully desktop oriented or are known to have desktop 
publishing sections with files and/or clip art for download. Some have a 
message base or conference devoted to desktop publishing.

This listing includes updates received as of July 1, 1990 (hence the 07 in the 
filename). Updates are generally issued on a monthly basis, depending on my 
deadlines and other time constraints. If you note any errors or omissions, 
please leave me a message in one of the many echo conferences, preferably in 
the PubNet or LaserPub Conference (Fido) or in the PC Publishing echo (GT). 
Alternatively, info can be mailed to me at 10626 Samaga Drive, Oakton, VA 22124 
or voiced to 703/281-9601.

Please feel free to upload this list to other boards you may visit. It's nice 
and small and certainly won't hurt your upload credits on boards that count 
such things. Also, the better the distribution of this list, the better the 
information in future editions will be.

The Usual Disclaimer: By request, I am including descriptions of the boards 
where available (i.e., whether Ventura or PageMaker, what conferences, etc.). 
In doing this, however, I must emphasize that the correctness of this list lies 
with those who contribute information to it. I have neither the time (or the 
money) to personally verify the status of each of these boards. All I have is 
the desire to help those in the desktop community help each other.

                                                             Thanks!
