Re: [TUHS] wwb - TUHS

8 Nov 2004

I once asked Brian Kernighan about style and diction. His
response was rather uncomplimentary; it's net meaning was
"don't bother with them".

As I recall, wwb was style, diction, maybe one or two other
related programs, and the ditroff suite: troff, tbl, eqn, pic,
and various macro packages.  For the troff stuff, you're
better off with groff, anyway.

 Hi,

 Anyone know the status of the writers workbench (WWB)
 which was a seperate package even in System III days 
 I think.

 I know about style and diction which was shipped with BSD4.1
 which (again wooly memory) was an early subset of the
 whole wwb package.

 I was hoping to compile it up and use it to help me
 improve my written English!
