The Tech, MIT's largest student newspaper, is planning to install an
electronic newsroom/typesetting system this summer.  If we choose to
roll our own, we hope to use a UNIX-like system running on a large
micro, e.g. the 68000.  The system would have to support visual
editing, including typesetting scanning, plus formatting and spooling.
As we are not sure whether we can junk our old typesetters yet, we are
also interested in device independence.  We would appreciate any
information on electronic newsrooms, text editors and formatters,
(device independent) typesetting, local networking, microcomputer
UNIX's, large micros, and anything/everything related.  Please mail any
information, suggestions, or whatnot to TEN@mit-vax (or
 ...!eagle!mit-vax!TEN).  If you want to talk, call Rich $alz at The
Tech, (617) 253-1541. Thanks.
