I was told, but cannot verify, that one of our local
newspapers (the Louisville Courier-Journal) had one
of these systems; the guy who gave me a "printout"
from a demo program (it was a bunch of words set in
various fonts with various additional attributes
like boldface, Italics, etc, printed on a plastic
film) said the Computype system was front-ended by
a DECsystem-20.

Subject: Computype Compuedit Revisited.
Some months ago I asked on this group what the Computype
Compuedit computer
was. I was told by someone (who is that person, by the way?)
that it was the
front-end machine to a photo-typesetter from the early 80's.
Does anybody
know where I can find pictures of this thing in operation?
