Corel Ventura

The original version was known as Ventura Publisher and was first available in 1986. Xerox was the exclusive distributor of the program until 1990, when it bought the source code from Ventura Software. Out of this came a new Ventura Software, an affiliate of Xeros, with the original developers moving to the new company.

In late 1990, it released Version 3.0 Gold. and was available for DOS, Windows 16, Mac and OS/2 but the three original developers left the project after this. Version 4.0 came out in 1991 and Version 4.1.1 came out in 1993, the last release from Ventura Software.

Corel acquired the program in 1993 and released it as Corel Ventura 4.2. This version ceased support for all platforms except Windows.

Version 5.0 was released in 1994 with major upgrades to the user interface and the document structure. This caused a backlash from the supporters of the original DOS edition and they have refused to upgrade since then.

In 1996, a rewritten version for Windows 32 came out under the Corel Ventura 7 label with no version 6 whatsoever. This was done to catch up to CorelDRAW’s version number, which was 7.

In 1998, Corel released Ventura 8.

The last version, Corel Ventura 10, came out in 2002 and runs on Windows 8 and Linux. Who knows? Perhaps the document you hold in your hand comes from a 2002 vintage software?

The next version, if there is one, should incorporate tight integration with online backup so that incremental changes are saved and the document can be restored to previous versions if necessary. This is where the state of the art is.

Perhaps it can be bundled with Carbonite, a leader in cloud backups for businesses. By using a Carbonite offer code, businesses can get the best of both worlds – Corel Ventura document publishing and peace of mind online backups.

The DOS version of the program gained a loyal following due to:

  • It ran on IBM PC computers
  • Documents are created with a high degree of internal consistency by default
  • Text is automatically exported to word processor-native formats
  • Ability to print to many different formats, including PCL, PostScript, some popular dot-matrix printers and InterPress LASER printers and imagesetters

What is the Cloud Backup?

The "cloud" is nothing more than a server that allows you to back up and store data online. These servers are extremely expensive, and highly optimized. This is why you will normally only see major corporations offering cloud backup services, due to their expensive cost of setting up and maintaining.

The systems that control these cloud servers are redundant, so that in case of a power outage or other natural disaster, the data that you store on the server will be secure.

What sets some cloud services apart from others is the type of software that they allow their users to access the service.

These companies offer different levels of service that cater to everyone from the average home computer user to Fortune 500 companies.
