> The most interesting possibility which all this has to offer > to UNIX types, involves the Xerox 8010 "Star". An even more interesting possibility for UNIX types is the Interleaf document preparation system. It's more interesting because it runs under UNIX on Suns; I believe it also runs on Apollos, although I don't know what OS it runs under, and it may run on other UNIX workstations with large bit-mapped displays. It's a *very* fast WYSIWYG editor (it reformats paragraphs *and* pages as you type), and supports graphics as well. The Xerox D-machines run Pilot rather than UNIX, although I've heard rumblings about C compilers (although ask anybody who's done a C compiler for a vanilla Perq about how easy it is to do C compilers and libraries for word-addressed stack machines). Xerox has finally released the Xerox Development Environment, at least for the 6085. I don't know if there are DIF functions for Interleaf, but it's worth asking. Interleaf is in Cambridge; I don't have any more information on them. Guy Harris
