	    You might ask your local salescritter for the
	email address of interleaf: they have a "kit"
	for writing filters for internal use, and at least
	two publically-announced companies writing filters
	for them.  There is a possibility that the filter
	kit can be provided to customers, but the policy
	was not in place as of the spring.
	    They have released several set of public-domain
	and shareware tools in lisp (TPS uses lisp as an
	extension language), so they probably have a policy
	now on non-interleaf, non-related-company software.

	    Just don't be stopped by officious salespeople
	who don't want to know! The managment is fairly
	awake & aware, and can be quite cooperative when
	it doesn't threaten existing corporate relationships.


>BTW, is there an Interleaf mailing list, or newsgroup?

	Yes, but I only got 3 mesasges in 6 months...
	I'v lost the address now I'm at york.
