I just saw this video mentioned on reddit...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvDZLjaCJuw
UNIX: Making Computers Easier To Use -- AT&T Archives film from 1982, Bell
Laboratories
It features many of Bell UNIX folks, and even includes a brief example of
speak in action at about the 15:20 mark.
It's really cool to see the proliferation of UNIX by 1982 inside Bell.

Damn, I wish I could figure out how to save a video; it gets decoded, so
it must be saveable...

I sometimes use style and diction tools from GNU project. (I have some
enhancements I need to share back.)
The video also mentioned "proofer" from WWB. Where can I find the
Writer's Workbench (WWB) tools like proofr, punct, double, splitinf,
prose, findbe, abst, org, and maybe others? (It would be nice if there
were some maintained versions that I can use on NetBSD now, but if not
I could port them as needed.)

I searched for them for a while a couple months ago when I first saw these
(awesome) old unix videos. Are there more of these vids floating around?
Anyway, as to my brief search for wwb, there are a couple of companies who
have equivalents for Windows, not sure if they're just ports or what, but
that's not gonna help me. Then there's a plethora of
writing-assistant-type stuff available for emacs. However, I, too, would
very much like to find the original writer's workbench programs. I
actually used them, licensed, in a real, live writing lab in college. Hope
they're open sourced by now...
