From article <25903@tnetxa.ericsson.se>, by eraad@tnetxa.ericsson.se: > Where can I find sources for the KEYNOTE programming > language by Tim Thompson. According to KEYBOARD nov 1990 > page 90 you can download from AT&T Toolchest bulletin > board if you are a registered user (75$). Although the rest of the review in Keyboard magazine was fairly accurate, the details on obtaining Keynote were somewhat mangled. Here's a more accurate summary. The AT&T Toolchest is not a bulletin board per se, but you *can* log in (+1-908-829-7256) and peruse the descriptions of what's available. The AT&T Toolchest is a service through which AT&T distributes source code for UNIX tools. It costs $100 to register with the Toolchest, and you are then charged individually for the tools you receive. Keynote is $100, so if all you are interested in is the Keynote source code, it will cost you a total of $200. The license you get is a "site license", which means you can run it on any number of computers at your "site". Keynote binaries for some computers (e.g. the Mac and Amiga) are available by special request, but the normal mode of distribution from the Toolchest is by sending the source code via uucp. Keynote runs well on the Mac and Amiga, and on 386-based machines using UNIX and X Windows. Call +1-908-829-8843 if you want to talk to a human who can help you register with the Toolchest, or send email to tcadmin@pluto.att.com. If having the source code is not important to you, you can get cheap (<$50) binaries for some machines (e.g. Mac and Amiga) from Jon Backstrom, Applied Digital Arts, PO Box 176, Bloomington, Indian 47402-0176. I think his phone number is +1-812-336-3660, and email address is media@silver.ucs.indiana.edu. If you want complete details on Keynote, send me your postal address and I'll send you a hardcopy package including a complete language reference manual. ...Tim Thompson...AT&T Bell Labs/Holmdel/NJ...tjt@twitch.att.com...
