The product that you have heard about is "Alis", which is dubbed an "Integrated
Office Automation System".  It is from Applix, Inc.  Our local Sun sales
office carries a demo, though I haven't seen it.  It is reported to be a
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows text and graphics
to be merged together into a document.  It requires a high resolution graphics
printer (ie Apple Laser Writer) for an output device.

The address of Applix:

			Westboro Executive Park
			112 Turnpike Road
			Westboro, MA  01581
			(617) 870-0300
