The latest issue of IEEE Computer Magazine has a very good article on a two-view text editor called Lilac. (The views are a WYSIWYG and a functional programming language, both of which can be edited and directly affect the other.) That article very briefly describes an editor called Quill, which is based on SGML and a format description language REXX. Can anybody tell me how to find out more about these things? Do they still exist? Are they available (commercially or otherwise)? Are they as interesting as they sound? Thanks for the help, --Denis Lynch, ESL Inc.

Quill is a research system built at IBM Almaden Research Center. Unfortunately, I can't find any references to it at the moment, but the person to talk to is Donald Chamberlain. Call information in Palo Alto & get the number at IBM Research. > Do they still exist? Are they available (commercially or otherwise)? > Are they as interesting as they sound?

BTW, the IBM Almaden Research Center is in San Jose, not Palo Alto!

I have a reprint of a paper about it from IEEE Comp Soc Press in front of me: Quill: An Extensible System for Editing Documents of Mixed Type by Donald D. Chamberlin, et al. reprinted from Proceedings of the 21st Hawaii International conference on system sciences, Kailu-Kona, 5-8 Jan 1988 His address is: Dept K52/803 IBM Almaden Research Center 650 Harry Rd San Jose, CA 95120-6099 On another (unpublished) paper his e-mail address is given as "CHAMBERL at ALMADEN". (I'm not sure it how that translates into non-IBM addresses.) -john

If he has an external mail address (and I don't know if he does or not), it would probably be "chamberl@ibm.com". -- Man Passes / Dog House / Dog Sees Chin Dog Gets Out / Man Gets In / Burma Shave (1947) CSNET: ebm@ibm.com / USENET: ...!uunet!ibm.com!ebm / BITNET: ebm@almvmd
