The Document Engine is Archetype's hot new product for the NeXT
machine.  The Document Engine provides a framework for third-party
developers to rapidly create powerful publishing applications (ie.
page layout, word processing, form packages).  The DE is being

popular platforms, including Windows and Macintosh.  Stylist is
Archetype's high-powered page layout application, which is being
built on the Document Engine.

The Document Engine and Stylist projects are innovative, and on
aggressive time schedules.  The Product Manager will coordinate
engineering, quality assurance and documentation resources to ensure
that the goals of the projects are met on time.  The Product Manager
will work with the team to produce results.

The Product Manager will be accountable for administering and
coordinating beta programs for both the Document Engine and Stylist,
handle customer inquiries, comments and criticisms, and return
valuable customer feedback into the design of the projects.

The Product Manager must be technical and well-grounded in
development techniques, but will not be directly involved with the
code itself.

launched a shrink-wrap application.  At least 3 years experience with
production of shrink-wrap software.  Excellent organizational and
