[I'm reposting this because we've found three volunteers and would like at least another two. (we always wanted 5 or 6 but a couple of the people originally earmarked couldn't manage) G] 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. Graham Toal <gtoal@cursci.co.uk> PS As well as journal production, this would be ideal for weekly or monthly newsletters.
