We have WWB running under 4.2BSD (with one exception).  It wasn't
as easy asn the WWB installation manual made it out to be.  The
manual makes a number of refferences to loading WWB under Berkeley
UNIX, most all of which are wrong.  Apon calling the folks at
AT&T they stated that all the refferences (There were many) were
actually misprints, and if we weren't running suported System V
they didn't want to talk to us (At which point I told them we
wouln't pay unless we could load the tape).  Fortunatly the story
has a happy ending since we managed to get almost everything up
and running.

If anyone is trying to bring up WWB I'd be happy to share what
was done here to make it work (it's not very difficult).

Now, for the one thing that doesn't work.  The routing "org" (for
analyzing the orginization of a paper) looks hoplesly wired in
to using the "mm" macros.  Has anyone out there modified or rewritten
the lex file to enable "org" to use analyze other macro packages.
