Grab that and run it, and the resulting document can be viewed on a machine with X using EZ, the ATK editor. I've seen it work on some of the NextStep documentation. For those who don't know what ATK is, it's a windowing system independant multimedia user interface toolkit written in an object oriented variant of C. I think it comes for free on one of the X tapes. It's multimedia implementation is done somewhat better than NeXT's in my opinion, but for some reason I can't fathom it doesn't seem to have much popularity. -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu dd26+@andrew.cmu.edu
