The results were not surprising ( much as I was hoping ). The answers only supported my original beliefs that the Next machine would make a fine desktop publishing system. The Next appears to be a good choice for our application. Apparently, they are in decent financial health, they do have the Digital Librarian for "documentation" management tool ( and others are available from other vendors ), they produce a very productive publishing environment, etc.... In other words, it is a very nice desktop publishing system. Thanks again to the following people for their input: Brian V.
