PageStream (originally Publishing Partner) is a desktop publishing software package by Grasshopper LLC (United States) currently available for a variety of operating systems including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
The software was originally released under the name Publishing Partner for the Atari ST by Soft-Logik Publishing Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri.[1] The software was developed entirely by Deron Kazmaier, president of SoftLogik.[2] It was announced in November 1986 at COMDEX/Fall in Las Vegas, Nevada,[3][4] and was released to retail in early 1987.[5] STart magazine heralded the release of Publishing Partner as the start of the desktop publishing revolution on the Atari ST.[2]
Publishing Partner was renamed to PageStream for version 1.5, which was a significant revamp over the original. It was released for the Atari ST in early 1989;[6] it received an Amiga port in March 1989.[7]: C64 Version 1.8 followed in early 1990 with several new features and improved color separation abilities.[8][9] Version 2.0 was released for the Amiga in 1990 and Atari ST in 1991.[10] This version added support for PostScript fonts and, for the Amiga, AGFA Compugraphic Intellifont support.[11][12]
PageStream 2.2 for Amiga and Atari ST was released in 1992. The Amiga version added support for the HotLinks Editions publish–subscribe system, which was bundled with Soft-Logik's PageLiner text editor, as well as a simple bitmap graphics editor utility, BME.[13] These added features were absent from the Atari ST port of version 2.2 due to difficulties developing for the ST platform; although Soft-Logik planned to add these features to the ST version of PageStream at some point,[14] the company ended up abandoning the ST entirely after version 2.2.[15]
PageStream 3.0 for Amiga was released in 1994. The application was entirely rewritten with a new user interface and many new features.[7]: C64 Such features included table of contents, index, nested chapters, Bézier curves, horizontal and vertical multi-page spreads, drop caps, hanging punctuation, Pantone colors, auto-kerning, auto-hyphenation, and ARexx scripting support.[15][16]
In late 1995 and late 1996 PageStream 3.1 and 3.2 were released for Amiga.[17][18] With the aftermath of Commodore's bankruptcy sending the Amiga platform into rapid decline, Soft-Logik found themselves at a critical juncture.[7]: C65–C66 In order to stave off the demise of the company, Soft-Logic pivoted to the Macintosh in mid-1996. A pre-release of PageStream version 3.1 for System 7 was made available in August 1996.[19] Various extensions were released for PageStream including TextFX (vector text warp), Borders (vector borders for rectangles), and Gary's Effects (image processing filters).[18]
PageStream 3.3 was released for Amiga and Macintosh in 1997 with new fly-out tools for shapes, grids, and notes, as well as RTF export, a character panel, and improved chapter support. The Macintosh version included support for AppleScript.[20]
PageStream 4.0 was released in 1999 with added support for Windows. Linux support was added in 2004. According to the official website, the latest version is PageStream 5.1.2, released September 5, 2022.[21]

Atari ST is a line of personal computers from Atari Corporation and the successor to the company's 8-bit computers. The initial model, the Atari 520ST, had limited release in April–June 1985, and was widely available in July. It was the first personal computer with a bitmapped color graphical user interface, using a version of Digital Research's GEM environment from February 1985. The Atari 1040ST, released in 1986 with 1 MB of memory, was the first home computer with a cost per kilobyte of RAM under US$1/KB. After Jack Tramiel purchased the assets of the Atari, Inc. consumer division in 1984 to create Atari Corporation, the 520ST was designed in five months by a small team led by Shiraz Shivji. Alongside the Macintosh, Amiga, Apple IIGS, and Archimedes, the ST is part of a mid-1980s generation of computers with 16 or 32-bit processors, 256 KB or more of RAM, and mouse-controlled graphical user interfaces. "ST" officially stands for "Sixteen/Thirty-two", referring to the Motorola 68000's 16-bit external bus and 32-bit internals. The ST was sold with either Atari's color monitor or less expensive monochrome monitor. Color graphics modes are available only on the former while the highest-resolution mode requires the monochrome monitor. Most models can display the color modes on a TV. In Germany and some other markets, the ST gained a foothold for CAD and desktop publishing. With built-in MIDI ports, it was popular for music sequencing and as a controller of musical instruments among amateur and professional musicians. The Atari ST's primary competitor was the Amiga from Commodore. The 520ST and 1040ST were followed by the Mega series, the STE, and the portable STacy. In the early 1990s, Atari released three final evolutions of the ST with significant technical differences from the original models: TT030 (1990), Mega STE (1991), and Falcon (1992). Atari discontinued the entire ST computer line in 1993, shifting the company's focus to the Jaguar video game console.
Desktop publishing (DTP) is the creation of documents using dedicated software on a personal ("desktop") computer. It was first used almost exclusively for print publications, but now it also assists in the creation of various forms of online content. Desktop publishing software can generate page layouts and produce text and image content comparable to the simpler forms of traditional typography and printing. This technology allows individuals, businesses, and other organizations to self-publish a wide variety of content, from menus to magazines to books, without the expense of commercial printing. Desktop publishing often requires the use of a personal computer and WYSIWYG page layout software to create documents for either large-scale publishing or small-scale local printing and distribution – although non-WYSIWYG systems such as TeX and LaTeX are also used, especially in scientific publishing. Originally, desktop publishing methods provided more control over design, layout, and typography than word processing software but the latter has evolved to include most, if not all, capabilities previously available only with dedicated desktop publishing software. The same DTP skills and software used for common paper and book publishing are sometimes used to create graphics for point of sale displays, presentations, infographics, brochures, business cards, promotional items, trade show exhibits, retail package designs and outdoor signs.
The Magic User Interface (MUI in short) is an object-oriented system by Stefan Stuntz to generate and maintain graphical user interfaces. With the aid of a preferences program, the user of an application has the ability to customize the system according to personal taste. The Magic User Interface was written for AmigaOS and gained popularity amongst both programmers and users. It has been ported to PowerPC processors and adopted as the default GUI toolkit of the MorphOS operating system. The MUI application programmer interface has been cloned by the Zune toolkit used in the AROS Research Operating System.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
