Computype Compuedit Revisited. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

6 Jul 2000

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.

 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?
