Timeworks Publisher
Timeworks Publisher (Publish It! in the U.S.) is an early desktop publishing program for DOS/Windows licensed to Timeworks Inc[1], released originally by GST in the U.K. It used the extension .dtp, rebranded later as Pressworks & PageMagic by NEBS, all using the same engine developed by GST Techonologies. GST was later merged with another company in 2001 to form GreenStreet Software[2]
GST revolutionised the DTP market in 1987 with a release of Timeworks Publish-it for DOS. In early 1994, GST rebranded its DTP software for Windows as Pressworks. These were superseded in July 1996 by upgrades to Pressworks 2, with a wealth of increased depth and functionality, trouble free installation under Windows 95, along with high levels of ease of use based around OLE 2 technology.
GST Technologies produced or licensed the DTP product to many other distributors, but all used the .DTP extension. Other notable titles include: PressWorks, Greenstreet Publisher, Compuworks Publisher, etc.[3][4]
