Call for a desktop publishing digest:

Several users have expressed an interest in starting a digest to exchange
information on desktop publishing in general, and on the subtleties and
complexities of specific programs, including, but not limited to, Quark
Xpress, Aldus PageMaker and FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator, Ventura Publisher,
Framemaker, Interleaf, and Fontographer. Please note that these would not be 
system level discussions; they would deal more at the user-level. Also, 
technical discussions of PostScript for its own sake (and not how it related 
to these programs) would be covered in the PostScript forums and digests.
   Caveats aside, every user of these and other programs has discovered
some excellent work-arounds, irritating problems, or elegant solutions.
These could be shared for the benefit of all. I have also set up contacts 
with Quark, and I'm receiving quick shipment of Zappers and other
software to be available to list members and the net_community at large.
Hopefully similiar agreements can be made with other publishers.
   Some emphasis will be placed on use of service bureaus and medium- to
high-resolution output devices (Linotronics, Agfas, Varitypers, etc.)
without becoming overly technical.
   The list organizers (myself and Glenn Fleishman of Yale) also have 
conventional typesetting backgrounds, and we manage service bureaus at
our schools. 
   At this point, the mailing list aliases haven't been set up, but the
list will be a simple mail-exploder, where incoming mail to the list is
sent out to all list members. 
   For more information, or to join the list, contact either:
