There has been a lot of discussion recently (Guy Harris and others) about
the relationship between SoftQuad Publishing Software (including the 
recently announced DOS port created by MKS) and Documenter's Workbench
from AT&T.

SoftQuad Publishing Software release 2.9 is now available for both UNIX
and DOS, and a technical description is scheduled for posting in the
next few days.  In the meantime I can clarify the relationship between 
SoftQuad and AT&T.

Late last year, SoftQuad and AT&T entered into a co-marketing arrangement 
which was announced in the press at the time.

Under the terms of this agreement, negotiated over many months and
following evaluations by AT&T of various products, SoftQuad Publishing Software
is available in source and binary form through AT&T and SoftQuad as an enhanced
product derived from AT&T's UNIX Documenter's Workbench, Release 2.0 Software.

SoftQuad is providing ongoing support and development for the product.

In its current release, it has also been incorporated by AT&T into 
its "Standard Operating Environment" (SOE) for internal use. Special
arrangements have been made for the purchase of SoftQuad Publishing Software 
by AT&T personnel.

For further information, please call the co-marketing line:
          800 387-2777 in the US 
          416 963-8337 in Canada.
