If we choose to roll our own, we hope to use a UNIX-like system running on a large micro, e.g. the 68000. The system would have to support visual editing, including typesetting scanning, plus formatting and spooling. As we are not sure whether we can junk our old typesetters yet, we are also interested in device independence. We would appreciate any information on electronic newsrooms, text editors and formatters, (device independent) typesetting, local networking, microcomputer UNIX's, large micros, and anything/everything related. Please mail any information, suggestions, or whatnot to TEN@mit-vax (or ...!eagle!mit-vax!TEN). If you want to talk, call Rich $alz at The Tech, (617) 253-1541. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
