There are some other subtle differences, such as A]b[ generates A-subscript b and A[b] generates A-superscript-b. But the TXTFORM spec will be good enough as a guide, methinks. I suspect that TXTFORM was most likely an internal product, as the document on bitsavers doesn't resemble a CDC Pubs-generated one. That is, there's no frontispiece with copyrights and CDC logo; there's no list of effective pages, nor revision history. I recall how *anything* for official publication went to pubs for their imprimatur--even IMS documents which were obsolete almost by the time they got back from the printer. I also suspect that a cruise through the VIM library would turn up its predecessor or successor. --Chuck
