Anyone heard of this?

DyePack?

 

Just a data point.

The Harris folks make/made printing presses, too.

 

I despise Harris. That is all.

As SC said, it's not terribly uncommon. But as fishwrapper said, it's an awful pagination system.

Unisys is another pagination system that some papers use (ahem, like mine.) It's definitely not all about InDesign and Quark, although those are the most common, and probably easiest, to use. Does anybody use Atex now?

 

Oh god does that remind me of Dewar. Man that system sucked.

 

So they never worked the kinks out of it. At your shop IJAG, you guys use Harris more for the word processing part, but still design with InDesign, right? I worked at a shop that used Harris Jazzbox, if I'm correct. But we used that for the word processing -- typing stories and getting wire stories -- and then still used InDesign for the design stuff.

 

I think it's all Harris.

 

So it's kinda similar to ATEX?

buckw, the last few papers I knew that used switched over 3-4 years ago.
