As part of the NSF-sponsored EXPRES project we have created some tools for producing NSF proposals that you may find useful. There is a program that will produce all the standard NSF forms in PostScript. These forms look nicer than a typewriter would produce and can be incorporated into PostScript produced by other systems. With a little work you can produce complete proposals in PostScript and transmit them electronically. The software is written in C, has been tested under Berkeley UNIX, and runs on IBM RT's, SUNS, and VAXes. We have Scribe and TEX templates that incorporate those forms into a complete proposal. If you are interested in getting copies of the software please reply to James.Morris@cs.cmu.edu or Chao-Ping.Yang@andrew.cmu.edu

Aha--now, with a $10K computer and a $5K printer, I can produce what could be done formerly with a $150 second-hand typewriter. But you know what they say, "If the forms look good, then the science has GOT to be good." hh (former proposal reader)
