Our Integrated WorkStation product currently supports all of the above features. The workstation on my desk does What You See Is What You Get tables, equations, and indices. Our customers have tables and will have equations and indices real soon now. The NBI Integrated WorkStation has a full 4.2 BSD Unix port, a 68010 micro, networking, laser printers, Postscript interface, chart graphics, spreadsheet, communications, icon/mouse/window advanced user interface, mag wheels :-), and more there or on the way. I last priced the Integrated WorkStation at about 1/3 the cost of an Interleaf with a Sun. If you are going to invest in state-of-the-art solutions, I recommend you evaluate the NBI Integrated Workstation. For additional information, contact an NBI branch office or send mail.
