Terry, If you insist on staying on UNIX for document processing, my suggestion is to get your site a PostScript(tm) compatable laser printer (i.e. Apple LaserWriter+, Dec PrintServer40, IBM, HP, etc ) and install a set of filters created by Adobe Systems (the parents of Postscript) to allow BSD/SysV to communicate with these devices. They allow standard lineprinter in addition to troff and ditroff output. As to the word process aspect of you problem, if *roff is not to your secretarys liking, I suggest something like Scribe(tm) which is a full blown word processor. HOWEVER ! ! ! I would suggest you get those users a Macintosh Plus or SE with a LaserWriter+ and on of many word processors like Microsofts' Word. Within a few months you will be able to use your Unix system as a file server using a software package by Centram call TOPS and hardware by Kinetics called Fastpath.
