We have not encountered this effect here, because when we installed X11R5, we already
had Interleaf 5.3. However, I noticed another thing:

When you start Interleaf 5.3 under X11R5, every menu action leaves a white area on
the desktop which is not automatically refreshed. So, you have to execute "Refresh"
after *every* command. This is very annoying.

I have contacted our local sales representative, but I haven't got an answer yet.
I would recommend either to user X11R4 (works all right with Interleaf 5.2 and 5.3)
or get the 5.3 version.

The solution to this problem is to set the X-resource Ileaf*popup*saveUnder to
true, ie add the following line in your .Xdefaults or .Xresources:
Ileaf*popup*saveUnder: true

Is it possible to have Ileaf (5.2) perform mail merge?

I.e. send the same letter to a different recipients without typing
each individual's address and salutation, but have interleaf read
these info from a file?

Create a FullPage frame on the first page, set its placement to Overlay (if it
is not already), Contents to shared and Repeating to Begin. Then, open the frame,
and type your text (ART). A microdocument is created automatically.

Close the frame, and you will see that the text (ART) repeats automatically on
all following pages at the same position.

You may change the color and font properties of your text via the component
property sheet of the micro:caption component you created while typing.

I am afraid you can only convert Text Strings to outline, no Microdocuments.
You will not be able to have both justified lines and outlined text.

Even better, get your Sys Admins to install a special printer which
uses the following configuration:

Interleaf 5 specification for printer PostScript_File:

Printer menu name:          <your choice, eg PostScript_File>
Model:                      EPS File

Then you can generate postscript files into the ~/desktop/.deskprint
directory.

Hope this helps,

If you are printing Interleaf on a SPARCprinter with
NeWSprint, by default you get 3 header pages. I know
that you can turn off one in the printcap, and one in 
the .param file of NeWSprint, but even if I have 
Header Page set to "no" in the printer properties
sheet, I am still getting one header page that I
would like to turn off. 

(I need to turn off this last header because I am
running a script that uses Interleaf in batch mode that
spits out about 300 printjobs, thus 300 extra sheets
of paper.)

Let me know if you can shed some light on this.

 Thanks to those who have replied re above.  Sorry, but should have mentioned that
 the current listed address for Interleaf is 12 Barcoo Street, East Roseville, 
 Ph: 417-5044, Fax 417-4383.  Interleaf in Australia was apparently 'owned' by 
 Delairco, who own this address and who are no longer associated with Interleaf.  
 Interleaf are apparently setting up a new office in Oz and it is those details
 I am trying to obtain. 

 Again, thanks.

Yep. It's included in chapter 5 of AT&T's Documenter's Workbench.
I don't remember whether it is called troff(5) or ditroff(5).

Probably the spec is not included in the groff package for copyright reasons...

P.S.
Look in your DPS/TPS reference manual of your DPX doc: there it is included.

I've got a lot of info on this but most of it is in hardcopy form...to
get you started, try Avalanche Corp. in Boulder Colorado at
303-449-5032 or Interleaf in Waltham, MA. Both are heavily into SGML
markup tools. I can send you alot more info if you send me a SASE with
about 75 cents postage (make it a 9 x 11 envelope). Also, if this
group has an FAQ, there's undoubtedly some info there as well...

Some time ago I remember seeing a public-domain SGML parser available via

external FTP capabilities, so a mailserver would be preferred.  If one is
not available, does anyone want to volunteer to mail me a copy?

Many thanks...

Oh, while I'm at it, without starting a flame war:  Does Arbortext's editor
and architect facilities live up to their propoganda?  How easy is it to use?
Does it really work with ANY valid DTD?  Are the application of tags "context"
sensitive?  How fast can one construct an SGML document using their product
compared to a non-SGML document in Interleaf (looking for a level of additional
effort here...).  Replies, references, etc encouraged.  Thanks.

Looking for Interleaf <SGML> users, proponents, opponents, etc.

We are going to be moving some documents into a new publishing/
document managing system.  The new system maintains documents
in SGML just fine.  The problem is that it's not a very friendly
authoring environment.  The documents the new system will be
publishing will be rarely modified--hence, the lack of concern
over the new system not being friendly in authoring department.

Our original plan was to get the documents into Interleaf
(the three sites that will be using the new system already have
the hardware and software installed) and write/buy/borrow some
software to apply SGML tags to the documents.  These documents
are not very complex.  A total of 1000 pages.  All mostly
standard header, lists and paras, with a few tables.

It was suggested that we look at authoring the documents in
SGML in the first place to avoid having to write/buy/borrow
some software to post-process filter/apply SGML tags.  We threw
out the idea of SoftQuad's and ArborText's products because of the
cost and time constraints of having to install another
intermediate and temporary platform.

But, what about Interleaf <SGML>?  Supposedly it's only a $500
add-on (not including the necessary $12000 toolkit).  Talking
with the reps, it sounds like a groovy deal.  I'm looking for
real-life experience with the product before I can begin to
recommend this option to everyone.  I'd like to know how easy
and reliable it is for authoring SGML documents.  What if our
DTD changes 6 times between now and the date when we try to
move the SGML instances to the new system.  How much work is
to going to be to update the tags in Ileaf<SGML>? 

I could ask another 100 questions, but if I don't close this
will be far to long of a note for anyone to bother reading...

If you want the actual ISO standard, I'm sure someone here knows the
answer on how to obtain it (I don't)...

A good book, authored by the "father of SGML", is Charles Goldfarb's
SGML Handbook published by Oxford University Press. This is about as
close as I've seen to an authoritative SGML text without actually
going to the ISO standard doc itself...

Yeah, Erik has guessed right; we're THINKING ABOUT building one during
1993q3 (no promises), both separately as a complete application and as
an add-on to MarkMinder(tm)/HyMinder(tm), our libraries of C++ objects
for handling SGML and HyTime in the context of arbitrary complete
applications, which should be released by then.  Potential customers
should e-mail us to be put on a 'please notify' list and (mainly) to
indicate to us the breadth of the market for SDIF packer/unpacker
systems.  We'd also like to know the features you'd like to see, how
much you're willing to pay for it, and the licensing arrangements you
would like and/or think appropriate.

A port to the Macintosh is in SGML/ARC-SGML/macintosh, and a port to
Unix systems by James Clark is in SGML/ARC-SGML/jclark.

James Clark has also produced SGMLS, based on ARC-SGML and with a number
of bug fixes.  SGMLS is at version 1.0 in SGML/SGMLS/sgmls-1.0.tar.Z and
sgmls1_0.zip.  For the announcement of version 1.0, retrieve
/pub/SGML/comp.text.sgml/by.date/19920930110411 from ftp.ifi.uio.no, or
request RETR 19920930110411 in mail to <sgml.ftp@ifi.uio.no>.

FTP-by-mail users can request the distribution by sending these commands
to <sgml.ftp@ifi.uio.no>:

	CWD ARC-SGML/distrib
	LIST
	RETR <>

If the pkz110ex file is not needed, use

	LIST arc*
	RETR <>
	RETR readme

instead.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
</Erik>

I/We are new to the CALS/SGML community.  Is there any good general
articles concerning SGML and DTDs?  What vendors or user groups can I
contact to receive information about CALS compliant hardware and software
that is commerically available?
