Datalogics DL Pager Consulting

Cockroaches, Cher, and Pager

While it's no longer actively marketed by Datalogics, DL Pager, the venerable batch typesetting software, is still in use at many sites, usually buried as a "black box" component of larger systems that have been running reliably for decades. Pager and my son both arrived on the scene in 1976, and- as I used to joke- both were expensive and difficult to understand. (I also used to kid that after the apocalypse, the only things remaining would be cockroaches, Cher, and Pager. So far, the invulnerable trio is hanging in there.)

I have over 40 years of experience with the software and have my own DL Pager system installed here. I've taught courses across the U.S., in England and Germany, and have designed dozens of complex typesetting solutions on multiple platforms.

While I concentrate on database publishing- price lists, health care provider directories, parts catalogs, and similar publications- frankly, if it can be done with DL Pager, I've done it.

In unrelated news, I’ll be posting some stuff from my KGBreport website here, since I’m still struggling with my orphaned blogging software.

This should be interesting.
