We are looking for some advice on a Presentation Graphics package for
Suns, primarily for the production of high-quality slides and overheads..

Scripps is considering the purchase of Solitaire 8 Film Recorder from
Management Graphics...  We also have TTS+ graphics system from them which
runs on antique PDP-11/73...  We would like to retire this system in favor
of a Sun-based system...  I guess the best description of this software is
somewhere between FrameMaker and Artisan..

Could anybody provide pointers to equivalent software on the Sun??  I have
read about one called 'SilverTree' in the Catalyst book.  Does anyone know
anything about it?

Also, has anyone used Artisan in conjunction with a Solitaire?

Thanks for your responses!
