Currently I got the original interesting tools working (style, diction), the large wwb directory with punct, sexist and many more is still wip, but the working tools are great. You can get the source code here: http://wiki.9gridchan.org/incoming/sirjofri/src/v10/wwb.src.tgz I try to keep the thing updated. It should compile fine under any recent 9front without additional software. The code is mostly original UNIX V10 code, I needed to fix function arguments and forward declarations, as well as include files. Otherwise the code is left untouched, you can compare it with the original code at TUHS archive (many thanks to them). Other than the portable C code I needed (and still need) to translate the sh scripts to rc. The mkfiles install the rc files, the sh files are untouched (in fact, I don't think I included them in the package). Still not tested properly, so there might be bugs, especially in the scripts. Re licensing: tuhs announced that the code is closed source but they don't care as long as it's noncommercially used. It would still be great if they opensourced this part of Unix V10, just because it's good and forgotten software. Re tuhs: they had a conversation about wwb a month ago. To me it seems like they would be interested in knowing about this port. I'm not on tuhs mailing list and I don't plan to join the list, so it would be great if somebody could forward this mail. I plan to use the wwb for my future writing and I noticed much of excitement about it. Since I have something usable I decided to wait no longer but share it with you now. But keep in mind that I don't have much time now because I have actually something to write for university. sirjofri
