	In about three weeks, I will be assisting someone with the layout and
design of an introductory Pascal textbook.  Available hardware includes a
Mac 512e, SCSI port, and 20 meg hard disk.  Software includes Word 3.0 and
SuperPaint.  I have access to RSG3.  Output will most likely be on a LW+,
although use of a Linotronic typesetter might be possible.

	Questions I have include these:

o	Is this configuration adequate?  As background, I have been suffering
	with a 128K Mac and a single 400K drive for nearly three years, so I
	can put up with a lot of pain if the results are OK.

o	Any recommendations for additional hardware or software?  My budget
	is very limited (probably no more than $200).

o	Any suggestions for design/formatting?  I plan to look through a whole
	host of textbooks I have around to try to pick out the best features,
	but any thoughts will be appreciated.  We will undoubtedly be
	including Macintosh screen snapshots as well as Pascal source code.

o	Any other helpful hints?

	Thanks in advance [much as I abhor using that phrase].
