Software Product called "SCRIBE"

[ERIC at CMU-CS-C.ARPA]

SCRIBE is a (up to a while ago, THE) product of Unilogic Inc.
The majority of people that began Unilogic seem to have come from
Carnegie-Mellon University.  The father of Scribe is Brian Reid
presently of Stanford.  It is a documement preparation system that supports
arbitrary font types on arbitrary printing devices.  Output devices
range from everything from Line Printer/Daisy Wheel/Diable types
through Cat/Versatec phototypesetters and Xerox 9700/Dover Printers.
It has had wide use at CMU and Stanford and has more following
(100:1) than troff on the 780's (at CMU, anyways).  Scribe is
running on Vaxen, DEC-10's and DEC-20's, and probably elsewhere.

It is a highly structured preparation system, and lacks many of
the cryptocities of troff.

For more information, I'd start by contacting Unilogic at CMU-20C or
FRYD at CMU-20C.
