[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Wanted: info on MKS SQPS

poc@cbnewsm.ATT.COM (paul.o'connor) (12/08/89)

I am interested in UNIX-like word processing for my AT compatible.
My needs are modest: letters, short memos, tables, lists, etc. Graphics 
not essential but a plus.  I am using DWB 2.0 on my UNIX system at work,
MS Word 4.0 on the PC at home, and would like to be able to exchange
files and have a consistent interface. Any experience with the MKS SQPS
package, in particular:
	- nroff, troff, tbl, pic, and grap: all available? How similar to DWB?
	- performance, compared to MS Word?
	- *roff macro packages supplied?
	- ease of importing spreadsheet data, re-formatting by tbl
	- screen previewer available?
	- printer support: C.Itoh 310 (Epson/IBM modes), QMS laser 
	- is this primarily aimed at laser/typesetter quality output,
	  if so is cumbersome to get out a simple memo quiclkly on a
	  dot-matrix printer?
	- fully compatible with UNIX nroff, troff, and pic documents?
