     I "third" the previous comments about Interleaf from Chuq and Alan
Wexelblat.  I was able to evaluate Interleaf on a Sun, and was really
bothered by their total disregard for the Sun interface conventions.  Even
worse was the fact that they worked outside of SunTools, making it impossible
to use other windowed tools along with Interleaf.  This, coupled with the
$25,000 price !per machine!, made Interleaf nothing more than another amusing
anecdote.

     If you need desktop publishing on a Sun, I heartily recommend Frame
Maker, from Frame Technology.
