[FRIAM] Perhaps of Interest to the (other) old timers here!

[Stephen Guerin]

Thanks, Steve! I enjoy these slices of history and peeking into the
discussions of the time on fundamental issues.

Owen, were you involved with the Interscript project mentioned near the end
of the story? Interscript being the scripting of dynamic Interpress
documents which later spun out to Postscript.

As mentioned in story, the vision they had still hasn't been delivered.
Maybe JavaScript for the DOM or perhaps agentscript.org? :-)
