Message-ID: <3A1E85E3.E5469CA6@gmx.net> (raw)

I just read an article in "Druck & Medien Magazin"
about Advent's 3B2:
That's an command based typesetting system, used
mainly for newspapers, catalogues, telephone books
etc.
The description sounds very similar to the feature
list of ConTeXt (aside of the Windows/X user interface).
It works mostly with XML input (ConTeXt will soon, wouldn't it?)

The big difference: 3B2 costs 10.000 Euro for the single
user license!! The automatable (Perl-Skripts?) Server-Version
costs 25-000 Euro.

I'm happy with my cheap TeX! ;-)

(To be fair: 3B2 is made for very high performance, needed
by big newspapers etc.)

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
