Timeworks Publisher

Timeworks Publisher was a desktop publishing program produced by GST Software in the United Kingdom.

It is notable as the first affordable DTP program. In appearance and operation, it was a Ventura Publisher clone, but it was possible to run it on a computer without a hard disk. It originally ran on Digital Research, Inc.'s Graphical Environment Manager (GEM) Desktop on the IBM PC and the Atari ST. Later versions ran on Microsoft Windows.

In the US market, Timeworks Inc. marketed the program as Publish-It!, although this version only ran on the 8-bit Apple II platform, and later the Macintosh.

DESKpress was a version aimed at the business market, and Press International was a later CD-based multilingual version for Windows.
