Our department (Civil Engineering) is looking at technical word
processors and is considering DEC's product known as WPS+. DEC is
advertising this as a scientific/technical WYSIWYG text processing
system. I have not seen the system and, apparently, no other
department here has the system in place. I am wondering if people with
first-hand experience could take a few minutes and mail me some reports
about there experience with it.
The particulars are as follows:
1) we want to run the system from a Microvax,
2) the department plans to have secretaries using the system (up to
9--but not all at the same time),
3) the Microvax will be on an ethernet so that other users can remote
login,
4) it must be able to do mathematics,
5) the other systems in the department are UNIX (4.2 and ULTRIX)
or IBM (PC's and a 4341),
6) we ain't real advanced in the area of office automation,
I am a new reader of this news group, so I apologize if this product
has already been discussed in detail.
I appreciate any information you can give me--you know how hard these
decisions are.
Thanks
