+\centerline{\bf\TeX\ typesetting service}\medskip
+\noindent
+One of the problems that \TeX\ users in the UK face is
+the
+lack of typesetting facilities. While laser printers offer
+adequate quality for proofing and short-run publications,
+higher quality is required for well-produced printed
+publications. Typesetting provides this
+higher quality, and, for users who have limited typefaces,
+a wider range of options to improve the appearance
+of their work.
+
+Having encountered the problem of typesetting from
+\TeX, Abbey Information Systems has recently installed
+a Linotronic 100 with PostScript RIP, software and
+interface devices. This means Abbey can typeset
+PostScript files from \TeX\ PostScript drivers, and
+can also accept \dvi\ files for processing through a PostScript driver for
+subsequent typesetting. Abbey is currently using \TeX\ and the Linotronic to
+produce a 2000-page directory created on a database running on
+a VAX 11/750.
+
+Abbey Information Systems is now offering a typesetting service
+for all \TeX\ users whether or not they have a PostScript
+driver. Part of the service of special interest to
+\TeX\ users who are using mainframe and minicomputers
+is that half-inch nine-track magnetic tape
+can be read as well as floppy discs from {\sc IBM} pcs and
+compatibles. Other media will also be accepted.
+A direct dial-up service is also available.
