Interleaf was the first 'workstation' DTP package to be ported to the Mac II. It's the first salvo in what could turn out to be a barrage of products (such as the forthcoming FrameMaker from Frame Technology) originally developed for Apollo, Sun, and DEC workstations. Interleaf Publisher is based on an earlier Interleaf product called TPS (Technical Publishing Software) 3.0. TPS processed its first page in 1984 and was used primarily by large corporations and government departments in the heady environment of mainframes and workstations.

Compatibility:

This application specifically states that it will only run on a Macintosh II with a 68020 processor. Interleaf Publisher 3.0.4 was released in November 1987--before there were any 68030 Macs, and before the 68020 LC was available.

This application requires 2-bit color. Emulation in a Mac II version of vMac was very spastic, most likely because of Interleaf's decision to implement their own window and mouse managers within the application's client area.

The installation guide explicitly states you must be running System 4.1 or better. At the time of this package's release, System 4.2 had just been released.
