Welcome to comp.text.desktop, a new moderated group. The primary goal of comp.text.desktop is discuss the technology and techniques involved in Desktop Publishing on various machines, including the Macintosh, IBM PC, Sun Workstation and others. I'm also interested in discussing publishing techniques, layout design, and the other areas of desktop publishing that are more traditional and less technology oriented. This group is also gatewayed into the mailing list mail.desktop, so if you are on the mailing list and see this message, please send me a note to drop you and save the duplication. All submissions should be sent to 'desktop%plaid@sun.com' All administrivia should be sent to 'desktop-request%plaid@sun.com' Your moderator is Chuq Von Rospach, 'chuq@sun.com.' My background in all of this is as the editor and publisher of OtherRealms, a 24-30 page monthly newsletter that is built using a Macintosh, Microsoft Word 3.0, ReadySetGo!3, SuperPaint, a Laserwriter Plus and associated other toys. So welcome! I hope this group is as useful to all of you as it has been to me. The plan is to publish over the next week or so the archives of the desktop publishing mailing list, and then cut over to new material. enjoy! chuq [Note: Sun.com continues to have mail reliability and networking problems with the internet, so if you send mail to this list and do NOT get confirmation, please check with me -- messages have been eaten over the last month, and the glitches have still not been completely worked out] Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM [I don't read flames] There is no statute of limitations on stupidity
