Can anyone out there describe the current position on the TRANSCRIPT software package from Adobe Systems? I had heard that it was freely available and I have seen it on FTP sites, but the documentation seems to imply that it is a "normal" product requiring a site licence. Any comments ??

I'd be interested in hearing about any FTP sites that have the TranScript software available. Sherri Nichols snichols@adobe.com

Well...we've been talking with Adobe on getting Transcript directly from them. If it's "free available", then someone is violating a license agreement. For the source to Transcript, you need a license from Adobe. A single seat costs $1795; a site-wide license costs $2895. You have to fill out a license form from Adobe and mail it back to them -- with payment. One hitch: the source comes on 1/2" mag tape ONLY -- no cartridge, no floppies, no alternatives.

If you pay for the Adobe license AND have a valid ditroff source license (for ditroff from DWB 2.0 or earlier), for a modest additional licensing fee, you can get UCSF Enhanced troff/TranScript (on a medium of your choice). This considerably extends the capabilities of TranScript 2.0. Contact domino@violet.berkeley.edu for full details. Cheerio, Rick Rodgers R. P. C.
