Ventura Publisher was the first popular desktop publishing package for IBM PC compatible computers running DOS. The software was originally developed by Ventura Software, a small company founded by John Meyer (who developed it when he was at Xerox PARC), Don Heiskel and Lee Jay Lorenzen. It ran under an included run-time copy of Digital Research, Inc.'s Graphical Environment Manager (GEM) Desktop. The first version was released in 1986.
Ventura was distributed by several companies, but after a while Xerox became the only distributor and in 1989 they even bought the source code. Ventura Software Inc., an affiliated company of Xerox, was formed and version 3.0 Gold was published in 1990. Besides DOS/GEM it was also available for Win16, Mac and OS/2. Version 4.0 was released in 1991. The last version released by Ventura Software Inc. was 4.1.1 in 1993.
