Mark Jockin, CEO of Pre1 Software in Portland, Oregon explains how Em Software’s Xtags product became a backbone of the Pre1 newspaper software sold to hundreds of publications across the Americas. Xtags streamlines production process for hundreds of newspapers and magazines with Pre1 The end result of those decisions was a major delay affecting some of our QuarkXPress customers, and we’re sorry for that. We kept having to make tough engineering resource decisions over the past year that we judged the best for our customers overall.

It’s been a very long time since we’ve released any news about our XTensions for QuarkXPress 10 under Mac OS X-the Windows port was done mid-last-year-, mostly because we had no good news to share.
