I've been looking at DTP programs that run on SUNS (and others) for some
time, and am very impressed by FRAMEMAKER. Some other folks here at SRI
have suggested Interleaf, but I've mostly ignored them because Interleaf's
high end system (needed to do any serious DTP work) cost $15k.
However, those of you who are also looking at such systems and who work
at universities or other non-profit corporations may be interested to
know that Interleaf has just introduced their University Publication
System, which is the high end package minus typesetter and scanner
drivers, and which costs only $1k.
This is all I know about it at the moment (from a phone conversation
with one of their reps); I've requested more info.
Another tidbit the rep dropped was that they plan to have an
Interleaf PC system out in a few months that will allow simple
display and editing of Interleaf files on IBM/compatible PCs, with
complete transferability to and from the SUN version.
If you want more info on these systems, I suggest you give Interleaf
a call.
