@D-Van-Buer https://github.com/D-Van-Buer I'm wondering if we could convert the source files to HTML or to markdown. RTF? Did you find the postscript useful?
There's a move to rename 'utilities' to 'common' and make utilities a subdir. @.*** https://github.com/fghalasz )
I think HTML would be pretty easy, I'll see what I can do. I'm less familiar with RTF, but possible.
The postscript was modeled on the Interpress code from the Xerox hardware days, and Postscript is well supported for printing. But I can see it's less convenient for just computer viewing.

I've created an initial version of C code to render Interlisp source into HTML converting font tags into HTML annotations.

Hello @D-Van-Buer!
FYI, I've implemented an HTML imagestream type (that is, an implementation of the Interlisp-D device-independent graphics API) which I'm planning to release soon. That allows you to render source code, TEdit and Sketch documents, etc. to HTML files.
On a personal note, we were SDC colleagues on opposite coasts once upon a time. Let's get in touch privately - it would be nice to catch up. My email address is my last name at interlisp.org. Please drop me a line.
