Typesetting in the academic environment

Published:10 November 1982Publication History

ABSTRACT

The demands for information in machine readable form have grown tremendously in the last decade, and the advent of special processing to handle textual information has proved to be a necessity in many applications. Text processors, designed primarily for document storage and printing, have evolved into machines with full editing and preview capabilities, with add-on technological enhancements such as dictionaries, bibliographies, and arithmetic. Other realizations of text processing include application software written for large mainframe computers, such as SCRIPT from the University of Waterloo and RUNOFF from Digital Equipment Corp. These programs offer word processing in a multi-user environment that best fits the needs of an organization such as a university.

These environments allow many users to create, store, and revise their documents simultaneously, increasing the throughput in the input phase.
