Top seven exhibits to visit:

9. Autologic Information International Inc.: Worth visiting if only to check out the vibes from the merger; the new RIPs are an extra-added attraction.

13. CCI Europe: Clearly the darling of paginating major metros, the editorial front-end is looking pretty good, too.

19. Cybergraphic Inc.: We're blown away by the Cyber$ell classified front-end (also in the SII booth) and find the NAILS product interesting.

20. Data Sciences Inc.: The Oracle 7 database will make all the difference in DSI's next-generation circulation and business systems.

27. Euromax: Wholistic vision of the newspaper almost makes up for X-Windows clients.

54. Sysdeco: Can this marriage (Atex, Dewar, Norwegians) work? Solid products and software know-how are only part of the equation.

58. Unisys Corp.: Hermes front-end looks promising and rolling out an assignment system and an archive at its first NEXPO is encouraging.
