Stachour"1) IBM and Xerox are not the only companies that sell laser-type page-printing systems. Honeywell sells page-printing systems also. Besides our own GOCS3/8, CP6, and Multics systems, they have also been used as page-printers for IBM MVS and other mainframes. 2) Scribe is not the only text-formatter that knows how to format "nicely" for the xerox9700. Compose, a text-formatter sold with Honeywell Multics, has output drivers for the x9700 also. 3) Don't discount the smaller laser printers. I'm just finishing up my first device-table and device-writer extensions to compose for the xerox2700-ii (I decided not to try for the 2700-i; too incomplete). I'm already turning out documents with 10-12 used in them. ...Paul (Paul Stachour, Honeywell CSC)
