[TUHS] Documenter's Workbench versions

[Andrew Diller]

Thanks for the info. I managed to delve into the release notes for this package on IRIX. Seems like IRIX has a really nice tool called strangely enough 'relnotes' which will parse and show the release notes like man pages. Here are some snippets from the DWB:

------------

     Software Option Product        Documenter's
                                      Workbench

       Product Code                   SC4-DWB-4.1.3

However they do mention this:


-------------

     1.3  Product_Support

       support maintenance program for its products.

       If you are in North America and would like support for your

But they may not answer :)
