The enclosed demo of a Quark XPress Xtension was distributed by SWIP
Handels AG, the Swiss distributor of QuarkXPress. Please note that SWIP
takes no responsibility for the demo - they just made it available to all
QuarkXPress users here.
I myself have no connection with SWIP, Quark, or the author(s) of the
enclosed Xtension. Following below is the part of the description from the
"Readme"-file. The archive is compressed using CompactPro 1.34.
fcsPress is a QuarkXpress XTension designed specifically for
newspapers and other large periodicals that require network
cooperation between workers.
When working with fcsPress the main editor will prepare a master page
in XPress, and he will assign an editor number to each box. Once this
master page is ready, the XTension will split this document in as
many documents as there are editors assigned to it. The splitted
files are placed in specified folders according to the group they
belong to. These files can be distributed on the network to each
editor, who will fill in the text and picture boxes that he has been
assigned. Once the splitted files are ready fcsPress will join them
into a new single document ready for final printing.
The main advantage of fcsPress over other systems is that each worker
uses XPress to type his text, so he can see exactly how the final
page will print, including hyphenation, colors, column placement,
etc.
