Tech Talk Phototypesetter >From sri-unix!hplabs!dvj@Ucb-C70 Mon Mar 8 09:36:00 1982 Given that you decide to go the UNIX route, I would recommend that you get a hold of the new pick/troff package from Bell (rumored to be released within the month by their legal staff). It contains photo-typesetter independent troff that can be easily adapted to different hardware. Unfortunately, this package was intended for generating papers, not newspapers. A general layout and paste facility is not available (or rather I am not aware of any).

If you are at MIT, I would recommend talking to Steve Ward about the Western Digital Nu machines to be delivered this fall. Should be just what you want, although delivery schedule is somewhat fluid.
