IBM Script/PC is a document formatter utility. It is similar to the mainframe DCF tool for IBM TSO or VM 370 that uses the Script/VS language. Unlike integrated word processors, one creates their document in a separate text editor and manually adds markup commands (called GML or Generalized Markup Language tags). This utility then interprets those commands to produce a formatted document regardless of the printer used.
On the PC, it competed against similar third party document formatters already on the market such as WORDIX+INDIX, ReadiWriter, and MicroScript.
Script/PC includes built in help reference, supplies markup macros for use with IBM Professional Editor, and can work with existing mainframe Script/VS documents.
Minimum requirements: DOS 1.1 and 128K ram or DOS 2.0 and 192k, one floppy drive, IBM graphics or matrix printer.
Important: This disk image is formatted for DOS 1.x and will therefore not open in ImageDisk.
