- @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 = 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 = 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!
