|We just received a demonstration copy of "The Publisher", as WYSIWYG publish-
|ing system from ArborText, Inc. (formerly Textset, Inc.).  Our overall
|impression is very good.  It has the following features:
|
|	- Runs on Sun workstations
|	- It is WYSIWYG, but TeX is the real typesetting engine
|	  behind it all.

One caveat: Don't expect to be able to take your generated TeX source
to a vanilla TeX site. Publisher uses custom macros. You can import TeX
sources into Publisher, but once read and converted, you have to use
Publisher to process your document from then on.
