Reed @ 2014-11-05 18:18 UTC (permalink / raw) 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?

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... On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 1:18 PM, Jeremy C.
