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.
