We are interested in bying an Interleaf system and it seems the
management has decided to allocate funds.
Anybody in the netland know much about Interleaf ? The things we'd like to
hear about ( and NOT from Interleaf salespeople, please):
what laser printers are best to use?
how difficult is it to re-process stuff written for/formatted with
troff/nroff?
networking and interfacing with 4.2BSD and/or SysV(.2)
bugs
objective analysis
comparisons to other systems/software/hardware
Our current plans are to get a Sun OEM-ization from Interleaf with
their software installed in a turn-key config. and a laser printer.
Also promised was software/hardware to tie all that to our Pyramid 90x.
Any info is appreciated.
Please respond through email or post to this group if you think the info
will be of use to others as well.

I've seen a demo of Interleaf, and I have to admit that it is very impressive. It is not, however, a systems to typeset mathematics. You can do it (they have math fonts), but it will be quite painful. Tex, on the other hand, was designed with typesetting mathematics in mind. Moshe Vardi allegra!diablo!vardi

You can create math using their interactive WYSIWYG editor. The Texet system uses proprietary hardware and will not run on other machines.
