I called AT&T licensing just last week, and they still won't release
the source code for WWB.  Apparently it's a dead product, so all
we have is the style and diction package that comes with 4.3 BSD
(which must be 8 years old by now).

Does AT&T support WWB in binary on any AT&T systems (such as the
3b2) ?

Does anyone know what ever happened to all the WWB work that
was going on at either U. Colorado or Colorado State ?
