We have a Symbolics LGP-1 used mostly for troff output.
We have recently installed Scribe and want to interface it to the LGP.
There seem to be two possibilities:
1) Hack the Scribe font tables to have correct widths for the LGP fonts,
use the existing CAT-4/8 driver in Scribe, and then feed the Scribe
generated cat codes throught the same interface that we are now using
for troff.
2) Pay US$2,500 (I recall) to Unilogic for their LGP driver software.
I would appreciate hearing comments from anyone presently using Scribe/LGP
on the viability/desirability of these two approaches. Please reply
directly to me. If the comments I receive are sufficiently interesting
I will post a summary to this news group.
