--------------------------------



I recently found out that there is an Atari version of RUNOFF.  RUNOFF
is a text formatter for large formal documents, producing table of
contents, etc.  It runs on DEC computers - those of you who have used it
might want to check this out.

The Atari version is upward compatible.  It includes selection of output
format including numbered sections, bullets, alphabetic outline, and
slides. Slides take advantage of Atari's color capabilities.  The 100
page manual explains (among other things) how to make 35mm slides by
photographing your screen.

For a while, OSS was promoting Atari RUNOFF as "The PRINT Tool", but
dropped it in favor of some other product.  The author is Marshall
Abrams@mitre.arpa.  If anyone wants more details, I can forward your
request to him.
