Writer's Workbench is indeed available outside of the Bell System. If you have System V, WWB is available from Western Electric as an add-on service. Otherwise, non-Bell System requesters should contact: AT&T Technology Licensing P.O. Box 2500 Greensboro, NC 27420 Phone: (919) 697-6530 For those not familiar with WWB, the following appeared lately in the Bell Laboratories Record: The Writer's Workbench system is actually 30 computer programs that perform many of the functions of a human editor. The programs can scan a piece of prose and identify misspellings and simple punctuation errors. They can analyze sentence style, pick out wordy phrases or cliches, and estimate the level of readability. Using the Writer's Workbench system frees the human editor to concentrate on more difficult issues, such as the content or the organization of the document. Tony Hansen pegasus!hansen
