Do anyone know of any word processors in the style of "Word", "FrameMaker" and "Publisher" that is usable in a heterogenous network mixing Suns and MacIntoshes. That is, a user should be able to edit any of his documents regardless of the type of machine he/she currently uses. Is there such a creature available? Preferably, they should have the same user interface on both Macs and Suns, bbut even systems united by a common internal format could be interesting. Any pointers welcome!

Well, you could connect Macs to a Sun network using TOPS, and use Frame on the Suns and something else on the Macs. Frame will let you read or write any format you want (you might have to do some programming if a particular filter doesn't already exist). Further out in the future, Frame will run on a Mac, so using this as an interim solution makes for a nice upgrade path in the future.

It's expensive, but InterLeaf will run on Sun and Mac II. utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!hwt%bnr-public | BNR is not | All that evil requires hwt@bnr (BITNET/NETNORTH) | responsible for | is that good men do (613) 765-2337 (Voice) | my opinions | nothing.
