Ready,Set,Go! is BACK

... the original DTP program

Many of you remember using RSG back at the dawn of desktop publishing -- which was no longer supported after the introduction of OS 9 for the Mac. What I didn't know, is that Diwan (Science and Information Technology Limited) was founded in 1985, and pioneered Desktop Publishing (DTP) in the Arabic language. I also didn't know that Diwan had taken over RSG and renovated to an OS X and Windows DTP program for today's publishers!

Ready,Set,Go!

First released in 1985 by Manhattan Graphics Corporation, Ready,Set,Go! started the DTP revolution. Ready,Set,Go! has kept up since with all the major developments in the DTP market. Its latest versions support all the features and productivity expected by today's publishing professionals.

Ready,Set,Go! is publishing made simple.

It's simple because Ready,Set,Go! gives you all the tools you need to create printed pages - grids, guides, drawing tools, color support, tints, arrows, graphic file import filters and the most powerful typographic word processor on the market today.

Ready,Set,Go! puts you in control.

You see exactly how the finished page will look on the screen, before you invest in imagesetting or even settle on a final page design. Changing the position of text and graphics is as easy as clicking and dragging. So you can afford to experiment. And of course, it's just plain easy to use. Once you learn a few basic skills, you can create pages that normally require the skills of many different people - word processors, typesetters, and pasteup and layout artists.

Ready,Set,Go!
