[TUHS] AT&T video about Unix from 1982

[Jason Stevens]

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...

[TUHS] AT&T video about Unix from 1982

[Jeremy C. Reed]

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...
