	Interleaf is actually well worth the price for a company in many
cases.  I was part of a group that did a 100+ page report with several dozen
illustrations (some quite complex) using Interleaf on Suns (1's and 2's).
It is NOT just a text processor.  We were going to have the graphics/etc people
do the report, but when we talked to them we showed them our rough drafts,
done in interleaf, and they said that they couldn't come close to matching
the quality of even the rough drafts with their computers/software, and forget
the graphics.

	Of course, we already had Suns on our desks.  Interleaf is NOT for the
home market, or even the small business market.  It's meant for people doing
major (& minor) high-quality reports, papers, and documentation; and it is
wonderful for that, especially at integrating graphics.
