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@CMU-20C or FRYD@CMU-20C. -e -------
