I think that's Joel Howell who was using a Model 16/6000 last time I heard
from him <76616.1020 at compuserve.com>

FWIW:  John provided me with Scripsit source many moons ago, long after I
wrote scr2wp, my Scriptsit to Word Perfect 4.2 conversion program.  Given
my pack rat tendencies, I probably have it archived somewhere if John is
interested in reviving the project.  If I remember correctly, John had
ported this to the NCR versions of Unix in addition to the SCO flavours of
*nix.
