Hello,
we're looking for volunteers to try out the 'Type & Set' system which
was written up in the April edition of TugBoat.  If you read the
article, and are interested, let us know please.

We're only looking for three or four people, and those who volunteer
will be expected to use the system seriously for about a month, and
write a report at the end outlining any problems you found.

The only bribery we can offer is that you'll get a free copy of the
final version and the same level of support as paying customers.

This system is especially good for journal production, or anywhere
that large volumes of documents go out regularly all in the same style.
It's TeX-based, but tries to present a simpler interface, and can be
used by non-techies with a minimum of training.  We'd expect field
trial sites to have at least one competant techie though, even if
most of your dataprep people aren't.

Volunteers are welcome from *anywhere* in the world - US or UK or otherwise.
It'll be a good test of our customer support...

Thanks if you're willing to help.
