You can get a LIST3820/LIST4250 or IBM SCRIPT source file from me. I have
been TRYING to write the docs in such a way that they'd work on both IBM
and Waterloo SCRIPT, but this just seems impossible. Unless of course you
don't mind having a poor layout and doing everything by hand. There is
just NOT ENOUGH GML tags and not enough options to them; and the
compatibility between IBM and Waterloo SCRIPT orders is not good enough.
For example, there is no way you can change the layout of the title page
with pure GML, least of all include an optional logo on it. No way to
create boxes, draw rules, etc. And I'm not speaking about the GML I
developed myself to let the same source file format nicely on a 3812 and
as a raw file, or to mark changed lines automatically by comparing the
'added on release XXX' with the current release, etc. I'm afraid the only
solution is to improve Waterloo SCRIPT for better compatibility with DCF.
