From: cpc@AMES-NAS.arpa (Chuck Collins) Can anyone suggest to me how to approach the problem of boxes surrounding a piece of text? We are using Scribe under 4.2BSD, output going to an Apple LaserWriter. The only solution currently under consideration is building a library of PostScript boxes, and calling up the appropriate one based on the size of the text involved. That sounds possible, but quite ugly. Does anyone have a more general solution? Pls reply by mail to: Chuck Collins cpc@ames-nas or ...hplabs!harvax!cpc

The ability to draw boxes around environments with great flexibility will
be available in the next release of Scribe, to be distributed during the
First Quarter of 1986. Also in that release are a table creation facility,
changebars, and a variety of other conveniences.
