We provide the source code for DWB 3.1 to Unix System Laboratories. We're also planning to release binaries for AT&T computers, but the AT&T CS folks have only asked for 386, 3B2 and System 7000. It's all the same code, so a 3B1 version is no extra effort. I need to know if there is enough interest in this to bother creating the product. DWB 3.1 is a modern, robust, well-tested version of troff and all its pre- and post-processors. It features full PostScript and limited HP LaserJet support. It is very well documented. DWB 3.1 has been used to format many professional books (including all of Brian Kernighan's, the K&R C Language book, etc.) is used to produce the AT&T Technical Journal (glossy magazine) and is used by many thousands of internal AT&T people for routine memoranda, letters, etc. The bulk of AT&T's customer documentation is also done with DWB (which, alas, cannot guarantee the documentation is readable, accurate, etc.) If you are interested, send mail to: npn@mhpo.att.com or start a public discussion if you like.

can you let us know how much it will cost? as you might expect from a user community who has old, beat up, discontinued machines (great tho they may be!) this is gonna be a factor. jeff
