From: "Paul D. 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.
