[comp.text.desktop] Need to find Publishing Package for 386 Xenix

news@sun.uucp (news) (06/25/88)

I need to find a desktop publishing package to run under SCO-386Xenix.
The only experience I've had with desktop publishing software is under
the MS/PC-DOS environment.  The primary uses of it would be:

In the marketing department:
	news-releases, direct mail letters and other marketing
	material

In the documentation department:
	manuals, spec-sheets, indepth research reports
	among other things

I am not familiar with *all* the things to look for except that it
must be better than those I have seen readily available under the
MS/PC-DOS environment and must provide the following:

	1.  Can handle very large manuals and other publications
	2.  Ability to (with or without other utilities) integrate
	    database information (ie. client information) into the
	    publication for such things as direct mail.
	3.  Have support for various laser printers (suggestions here
	    are also needed and would be appreciated -- currently
	    looking at the apple and xerox)
	4.  Able to incorporate garphics into the publication

It would be nice if it were capable of the following:

	1.  Ability to switch between publications being worked on
	2.  Able to reference other publications in part or in whole
	    for use in the publication being worked on
	3.  Any others that you may think of

If everything could *magically* work together and do everything needed
and wanted, it would be nice.  I can, if I really must, write
utilities or whatever to get things working right.

If you have any information or insight at all that may help me in this
quest, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.
