Bob, okay - it is very good - a lot of our people here use it as a standard multi-media document editor, as it is better than a lot of products at that, and becuase they can then exchange the documents at source level, instead of struggling with different postscripts, which is what most other sysatems reduce one to:-( I dont use it much myself except as part of our research environment, as I have a sun 3/50 (i gave all my projects sparcstations to my researchers, because they do the real work)... we only recently got the X based verion installed centrally, so i will be able to run it on a solbourne with output on my 3/50 - i'll let people know if its acceptable... the guy who uses it most (apart from the PODA project here) is probably mike hewetson (mjh@cs.ucl.ac.uk) who is usually pretty helpful if you want more 'naive user' feedback... jon
