You just need a document formatter that supports it. Scribe (from Unilogic) is the only one that I know of. If you can afford a 9700 the price of scribe probably won't scare you too much. It's available for Tops20, Vax (Vms and probably Unix), Prime, and probably others. Since Unilogic got internal documentation for the 2700 from xerox in order to be able to drive it, I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for the 9700. None of this is from personal experience, I'm stuck with the 2700's. (The 8700 at Usc is hooked to a computer by a company with 3 letters in its name that gives me the blues. (Being used as a high speed line printer!)) Bob Larson -------
