Anyone know of a DTP program for AT&T 6386 or 486 running 3.2.x for 4.0 UNIX? Is FrameMaker or Interleaf available?

It's not a "true" DTP, but comes damn close, Word Perfect is available on most unix platforms. I'm currently running it on both an AT&T 3b2 and a 386 platform. Has many of the features of a "true" DTP, but not neat the complexity, and as a result, not all the functionality of a DTP. -- | R.

I haven't seen WP for UNIX yet but don't think it will be enough for what we need. We need the drawing tools and page layout abilities similar to Interleaf or Pagemaker. It will also need to be mouse driven. Is WP capable of that?

Am not familiar at all with Interleaf and only marginaly with Pagemaker, so am speaking slightly out of hand. While WP does not directly "draw", it mainly allows you to insert and manipulate graphics into a document, they do have an add-on package called Draw Perfect that works quite well. Whether it has all the capabilities you require, I don't know. It functions roughly similar to MS Paint and MACdraw, to give you a *rough* comparision. Both WP and DP are mouse compatable, though for WP I much prefer using the keyboard commands rather than bouncing back and forth from the KB to the mouse. -- | R.
