  • A Description of the Interleaf Publishing System
    IS WHAT YOU SEE ENOUGH TO GET ? A Description of the Interleaf Publishing System Robert A. Morris Interleaf, IncJ The University of Massachusetts at Boston2 Abstract. The author describes a commercial document preparation sys­ tem which integrates text and graphics capabilities, composes documents interactively in real time, and maintains screen fidelity while producing high quality output on laser printers and typesetters. I. Introduction The Interleaf Publishing System (IPS) is a family of related document preparation sys­ tems which run on workstations manufactured by Apollo Corp., Cadmus Computer Systems, Digital Equipment Corp., PCS gmbH, and Sun Microsystems. Interleaf is a reseller of Apollo, Digital, and Sun equipment, and sells complete turnkey systems on those workstations. The system drives 12 dot/mm (300 dot/inch) laser printers and typesetters. Presently supported printers include the Imagen 8/300 and the Dataproducts LZR2630, and the Monotype Lasercomp typesetter. In addition. Interleaf has announced that it will support RIPrint, PostScript and Interpress printers, and the Compugraphic 8600G, Autologic APS-Micro5G, Allied Linotype Linotronic 300 and Information International, Inc. typesetters. The IPS family ranges from the Workstation Publishing System (WPS), which runs on all the above-mentioned hosts and in some cases can be purchased from the worksta­ tion vendors, to the Technical Publishing System (TPS), which is available from Inter­ leaf on the stations it resells. The differences are essentially a matter of features, configuration and pricing. There is no performance degradation with use of the full TPS system, provided that it is run with larger memory when using the image process­ ing subsystem described below.
