Except it doesn't run under NextStep, and you can't use it to access any other texts (which you can do with the Digital Librarian) and you can't author in it. You can't create your own documents with it. True they may add that functionality in the future, but when they do they better make it so that your original documents didn't have to be written in Interleaf (the hypertext based documentation was first written in Interleaf and brought over). But it does have a lot of potential, and I think IBM understands this University need. David Finkelstein Academic Information Resources Stanford University davef@jessica.stanford.edu
