Can anyone tell me anything about storage formats used by Interleaf, Context or Scribe? What I am really interested in is the possibility of extracting the text and/or diagram information from the files for inclusion in troff documents. Even more specifically, I am looking into using a structured analysis tool for future design projects. The package I am looking at right now manages the production of data flow diagrams, structure charts, a data dictionary, etc. and can produce a skeleton document with this information, in any of the above formats. The idea is to finish up the document using the corresponding publishing package. We currently document using troff so it would be nice to be able to import the above information into troff documents. One further comment: I am familiar with Interleaf, and know that it is beyond our budget and requirements. However, I know virtually nothing about Context and Scribe so any background to either of them would be helpful. I suppose, if they are lower cost alternatives to Interleaf, we could switch. Any input would be appreciated! Please reply through email. Nathan P. Konrad ...!watmath!watcgl!electro!nathan Electrohome, Phone: (519) 744-7111 809 Wellington St. N.
