We had a Scribe clone on EMAS in Edinburgh and Canterbury in the UK. I 
used it quite a bit.

In 1984 I bought a cheap IBM compatible PC called an Advance 86B. It came 
with a 'Perfect' suite of programs.

The text editor was an Emacs clone, without LISP and no optional key 
binding. But I liked it, and have used Emacs-like editors to this day.

The text formatter was separate (no WYSIWYG). It was a Scribe clone, again 
much reduced but functional.
