[comp.sys.dec] Desktop Publishing/Technical Report Software

carter@ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov (Dave Carter) (11/07/90)

i am in the market for desktop publishing software for our DECstations
(5000 and 3100's) running Ultrix and MIT's X windows.  we do a lot of
technical reports, and require the ability to import graphs and
data from other sources, such as raw data files or postscript files,
or even from a separate graphing program.

we currently use lotus products; manuscript, freelance and 123, and
would like a software package with these capabilities.

the two i've heard about are frame and decwrite.  is frame available
for this platform?  will decwrite run under X11R4?  does anyone have
opinions on the pros/cons of this or other similar software?

thanks.
