The major programs SLAC uses are:

	VLT, redistributable terminal program by Willy Langeveld
		with wonderful ARexx port, Tek graphics, vt100.
	ARexx/WShell by William Hawes (commercial).
	rexxarplib/rexxmathlib, redistributable ARexx libraries
		that provide support for general Intuition and
		other ROM calls and a full set of math functions,
		by Willy Langeveld.
	TxED Plus, by Charlie Heath (commercial).
	AmigaTeX, by Radical Eye Software (commercial).
	Conman, by William Hawes (redistributable).
	ARexx macros and coordination by Marvin Weinstein.

I hope I haven't forgotten any!  It's a very impressive environment,
especially with the wonderful ARexx macros by Marvin Weinstein.
