I just recently installed the DOCUMENT PREPARATION utilities for
the UNIX pc. I am familiar in using the nroff commands, but have
some questions about something that came with the 3.51 version that
wasn't in the 3.5 release.
There are a few files in /usr/lib/dwb/ (I assume DOCUMENT WORKBENCH).
The programs are:
ndexer* parts* sbj2* style1*
ndxformat* samples/ sbj3* style2*
deroff* pages* sbj1* sbjprep*
style3*
Unfortunately AT&T strikes again and there is no documentation :-) to
explain the Document Preparation Utilities in the /usr/lib/dwb directory.
I'm not familiar with these... can someone help?
Thanks,
-Lenny

Fianlly after 6 weeks, AT&T got around to sending me a replacement for the one bad disk that was preventing me from loading dwb, funny that one diskette came packed in a box with six manuals and 13 other disks-- and they want me to pay the freight to return the original devolpment set! I think I'll send it by sepcial 5th class banana-boat rate. Ahh, the pleasantries of parts distribution bureaucracies! Well, just what are those peculiar programs in dwb? The style* ones look interesting, but do little interesting stuff when run on a file. Perhaps, they are subordinate parts of mm or fx used to figure out where to hyphenate, etc? Possibly they are hooks for the writer's workbench? --Bill

In Release 2.0 of the Documenter's Workbench, some new things were added, most notably subj and ndx, which are used for preparing subject indexes. The stuff in /usr/lib/dwb seems to be for supporting that. The samples directory has sample documents. -- Andy Sherman / AT&T Bell Laboratories (Medical Diagnostic Systems) 480 Red Hill Road / Middletown NJ 07748 / (201) 615-5708 UUCP: {ihnp4,allegra,akgua,cbosgd,mtune....}!shlepper!andys INTERNET: andys@shlepper.ATT.COM
