                          DESKTOP PUBLISHERS' BBS LIST

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The following boards are fully desktop oriented, or are known to have desktop
publishing sections with files and/or clip art for download. Some have simply
message base(s) or conference(s) devoted to desktop publishing. This listing
includes updates received as of November 1, 1993 (hence the 11 in the
filename). Updates are generally issued on a monthly basis, depending on
deadlines and other time constraints.

By request, I am including descriptions of individual board offerings where
available (i.e., conferences, file specialties, etc.). In doing this, however,
I must emphasize that the correctness of this list lies with those who
contribute information to it. I have neither the time (or the money) to
personally verify the status of each of these boards. All I have is the desire
to help those in the desktop community help each other.

Please note that boards whose names begin with "The" are not automatically
alphabetized under T. This is simply because a sysop may not always use "The"
in front of the board's name, a situation that has too often led to double
listings. Thus, boards here are listed by the proper name--i.e., The Aloha BBS
in Hawaii is listed under A as Aloha BBS (The).

Please feel free to upload this list to other boards you may visit. It's nice
and small and certainly won't hurt your upload credits on boards that count
such things. Also, the better the distribution of this list, the better the
information in future editions will be. 

Messages regarding any errors or omissions may be left in the LaserPub
conference (Fido), the Desktop Publishing echo (GT), or the Desktop Conference
(SmartNet). Via Internet, my address is FrankA9007@aol.com. Alternatively, info
can be mailed to me at 10626 Samaga Drive, Oakton, VA 22124; voiced to
703/281-9601; or faxed to 703/242-3680.


                                        Thanks!
                                        Frank Atlee

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In an effort to help ensure its ongoing accuracy, this list is cross-checked
each month against a number of others. These include net node lists, other
nationally distributed lists, and published lists from a variety of sources. In
some cases, however, this may result in a board being listed as down that isn't
(i.e., a board's not appearing in a node list doesn't mean the board is down,
just that it is no longer connected to that net). If you see a board in the
down listing that you know isn't, please drop me a note. I'll appreciate it, as
will other users of this list. In order to conserve space, this listing
includes only boards reported or listed as down within the past three months.
