Top seven exhibits to visit:

5. Agile Enterprise Inc.: Just because you've never heard of TeamBase doesn't mean it isn't a great editorial front-end.

16. DeskNet Inc. & NewsEngin Inc.: Building an editorial system on Lotus Notes seemed radical last year; this year, with the spectre of 16 installations, it seems real.

33. K&F Printing Systems International: For those saying they wouldn't move to computer-to-plate without some speed, K&F says: How about 100 plates per hour?

37. Marketing Solutions Group Inc.: Database marketing from the viewpoint of the newspaper executive -- as an application or service bureau.

40. Miles 33 International: An interesting new full-featured front-end system with editorial and classified features.

45. NOVA Publishing Systems Inc.: It sells SII software in the small-newspaper market, but come to see AutoBase, WebPub and FaxAction.

61. Thomson Interactive Media: High-quality on-line classified system, proven at papers big and small.
