I actually have TWO implementations of DWB, one came with my copy of
SCO Xenix/386 (subset is known as the Text Processing System) while the
second came with Interactive's Application Developer Platform (subset is
known as the Text Processing Workbench). Both are available separately.
ISC's is the proper implementation of DWB 2.0+, and includes the device
independent troff (ditroff), but no driver to take advantage of my HP LJ.

Indeed, current plans are to run Word for Windows under VP/ix - once I
upgrade to a system with enough horsepower to support it. 8-)
