Abstract
The paper describes the experience of creating the MRAMOR workstation in 1980-1987, a quality workspace for the publishing business built on a weak element basis. The aim of the work consisted in the creation of hard-and-software foundation and a system of workspaces for professional publishers. This accounted for the initially complex approach to the problem, which combined hardware, software, font, and visual design. We produced a pilot batch of forty workspaces, basic program software for the station, and application software for workspaces of professional publishing systems for electronic publication preparation. These convenient and highly effective workspaces went into test operation and they served to produce a large number of publications of high polygraph quality.
