There is often a great misunderstanding when some people say there is
no Interpress machines, and others say "I've been running on one for
years." This ambiguity comes from the Xerox idea of subsets. Remeber
the 17 flavors of PL/1. The people who say there isn't an Interpress
printer are usually talking about V3.0, which to my knowledge has never
been fully implemented. What happened to all the previous versions of
Interpress? Why, of course, they became subsets of the next version.
The confusion is mostly a result of people for ease referring to
machines by the type of PDL, not the exact system they are running. I
think a 9700 engine running full Interpress, Postscript or DDL would be
a kick-a** machine for any short run publication house.
