We are looking for software running on DECstations, that 1) lets me WYSIWYG-edit scientfic texts, 2) gives TeX-like capabilities, 3) imports graphics generated by other programs (postscript and other), 4) supports the creation of simple drawings, 5) generates postscript output, 6) may be used from any X-Terminal. One product I know of is the 'Publisher' made by 'ArborText, Inc.' but I think its available only on Suns. If you know a good scientific publishing software, please send me a note. I would like to know of advantages, problems, required resources and prices. Thanks in advance Stefan -- Stefan Esser, Institute of Nuclear Physics, University of Cologne, W.

I'm not sure about running the windows on remote X-terminals, although it should be trivial, but for all the above I'd recommend Interleaf TPS (Technical Publishing System). I used to work for Interleaf Canada, so I'm a little biased, but I do know just how nice a product it is! If I was a U.S. University I could get it free, too. Alas, I'm in Canada. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@Nexus.YorkU.CA, ...!yunexus!davecb or 72 Abitibi Ave., | {toronto area...}lethe!dave Willowdale, Ontario, | "And the next 8 man-months came up like CANADA. 416-223-8968 | thunder across the bay" --david kipling
