@ARTICLE PAL = <B>The NPE-BBS Network.<D> What does it mean to you?
It means that a modem is your ticket to the finest & largest desktop
publishing BBS network in the world!
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = Literally 1000's of files, active discussion bases
and conferences on a wide variety of subjects, and most importantly
a forum for support for your own questions and problems. That's what
the National Publisher's Exchange is all about; bringing you the best
at a price you can afford.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = What kinds of things can you find on a typical NPE
board. Well, first let me say that a ``typical'' NPE board is not
very typical. Each one is a highly specialized information exchange.
Desktop publishing and related issues are the thrust of each system.
And the individual SYSOPs (<B>SYS<D>tem <B>OP<D>erators) are some
of the best in the country; each always willing to participate and
offer insight into system discussions..
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = The NPE BBSs also offer the finest and widest selection
of the latest desktop publishing related files for downloading and
sharing. This means thousands of pieces of clip art, laser soft fonts,
DTP utilities, program specific files (for Ventura, Pagemaker etc.),
and even fully produced documents that you download, load into your
DTP program and print just as the designer made it!
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = Speaking of the fully produced documents, the NPE boards
were the source of the first Ventura documents to be distributed this
way. Both the <BI>NPE Monthly<D> & the <BI>WYSIWYG!<D> magazines were
the first to be published fully produced and distributed electronically
via BBSs and other larger telecomm systems.
@ARTICLE PAL = Along with a truly incredible selection of files, the
NPE Network of BBSs also contains a number of discussion forums that
cover the entire gamut of desktop publishing issues. At the <B>Western
Publisher's Exchange<D> for example, you'll find one of the most active
DTP discussion bases in the country. <B>Cooperworks BBS<D> has a
very active laser printer conference crammed full of informative messages. <B>The
DataCOM Super Systems<D> has massive file sections full of HP soft
fonts, scanned art work, Ventura chapters, Postscript screen fonts,
and MS Windows support files. Most importantly, all online files
have be checked for Virus infection!
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = What are you waiting for? Call an NPE board today! Be
sure to read the new user intro screens for complete details on each
BBS's access policies and user fees (if any). <188>
