 | 3B2 is the widest used prepress software for the Windows platform. Unfortunately a few mergers strongly influenced the further development of 3B2, which is named Arbortext 3B2 today.
UltraXMLTM, the XML-based DTP-system of WebX Systems Ltd., is a true alternative to 3B2. The formatting engine of UltraXMLTM is related to 3B2, but
 | it is completely based on X-standards
| | it is a lean program
| | it includes a modern interface for process integration |
