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.
