From inside cover pages...

AT&T Technical Journal, vol. 68, no. 5: [No information on production tools
(September/October, 1989)		given]

AT&T Technical Journal, vol. 68, no. 6: ``This issue was formatted and
(November/December, 1989)		typeset on UNIX(R) System V''

AT&T Technical Journal, vol. 69, no. 1: ``This issue was formatted and
(January, February, 1990)		typeset on UNIX(R) System V using
					the Monk document compiler''

So what's the Monk document compiler?  Does it bear any relationship to the
?roff that we know and rub along with?  To SGML?  To anything at all?

Post or mail replies.  If the latter, state whether you want to be quoted
with attribution on the net, should there be sufficient interest for me to
summarize.

Thanks.
