| The Writer's Workbench is NOT the Documenter's Workbench.  So far is I

I spoke to Lynn (sp?) at the infamous 800/828-UNIX number and she confirmed
this, sortof.  It seems that ATTIS can not sell *new* copies of WWB source,
but if you have in the past gotten WWB from AT&T then they can sell you the
latest version!  She muttered something that sounded suspiciously like:
    "mumble mumble MARKETING mumble mumble :-)"
and sent my call off to someone else who kindly and quickly answered a few
other of my (prob. very simple, to him) questions.

  There is a WWB Users Group at CO University (UofCO?) which I will be trying
to find later this fall...  If you're out there and read this, you could drop
me a line and save some work :-) ...
