Perhaps putting a limited time shareware version on Tucows would help.

Dedicated WP apps do make it on Windows - I have Pageplus installed on my
machine. The DTP app does need to have some form of file swapping ability
though - RTF as a minimum and preferebly PDF as well. The reason I bought
Pageplus is its ability to import, edit and save PDF files.

Submission to a reputable PC magazine would also help - especially if they
were doing a comparison of available DTP applications.

I used Ovation Pro for years on the Risc PC. I also used the early, timed,
versions on the PC but never bought the full version. Why not? I thought
about it, but I bought Pageplus for its PDF facilities. As PP makes a
credible job of doing DTP as well - and comes with a lot of templates and
artwork - there wasn't any point in buying OP as well. However, I am now
having second thoughts and will probably cough up for OP as well.

Cheers,
