[net.general] Info on AUTHOR formatter

js (04/26/83)

Anyone heard of AUTHOR, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor constructed, 
I believe, by the folks at TRW?  It's built atop nroff to run on UNIX
and uses the keypad function keys to allow immediate reformatting as
the writer issues nroff commands.  In this way, you are shielded from
nroff weirdness.  I understand AUTHOR is used extensively inside TRW
these days.

Any information would be very much appreciated.
