[comp.unix.questions] Scribe, GML

wyle@solaris.ifi.ethz.ch@relay.cs.net (Mitchell Wyle) (12/08/87)

Where can I buy Scribe?  Are there other implementations of
a standard Markup Language on BSD Unix?  What is Scribe?

Please respond via e-mail; if there are enough "me too's,"
I'll post.

did you mean script ad GML ? script is a text formatting program generally
running onm mainframes; developed at the UNiv of Waterloo Ontario. I have
used it thru the ITS (Info Techn Services) at Stanford Univ. You can get an
account if you wish. The cost is very reasonable ; there is telenet access.
GML is a generalized markup language which is a set of macros written in
script ; also available at Stanford . I have seen Scribe mentioned but can't
recall details right now .

Unless Scribe has changed and they haven't told us, it isn't quite
Generalized Mark-up Language.  It is very close in design, and
translation between Scribe and SGML should be possible.  Arbortext's
Publisher seems to be a real SGML.
