Their is a Unix Brief clone called Crisp (used to be called grief, but I
think there were some complaints from the makers/publishers of brief).
Crisp is freeware and source is available somewhere, although I do not
know where for certain, rumor has it that the source is available on
simtel20 someplace.  It is also on uunet archives in
 /usr/spool/ftp/comp.sources.misc/volume7/crisp1.9
version 1.9 is the latest (that I know of).

There is also a mail list for brief/grief/crisp users for more info
mail to owner-crisp-list@uunet.uu.net.

I use brief at home and like it quite a lot.  I don't know anything about
crisp bin/sources or the archives.  I have been meaning to pull off the
source for a while and start using it here at work - but that has been
several months and it hasn't happened yet so I kinda doubt it will.
Because of this intent I have been saving stuff about crisp.  The above is
pretty muchly a summary of what I have.  I don't have any answers past these.
