Wirklich! I had not heard of this till you mentioned it (above), but a little search has led me to comp.sources.unix at http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sources/ and, specifically, http://www.isc.org/sources/utils/text/processing/lbl.php where: Title: lbl Version: 1.0 Submitted: Dec 1 1986 Author: wjh12!maynard!campbell Submittor: wjh12!maynard!campbell Description: lbl preprocessor for [nt*]roff The following shar archive contains the lbl preprocessor for [nt*]roff. lbl handles generation of and symbolic references to sequenced labels, alphabetic, numeric, or mixed. Forward references are supported. Lbl was written by C.D.F. Miller at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), and was originally posted to net.sources over a year ago. It compiled and ran without a hitch on my tiny VENIX system and has performed flawlessly ever since; this is high praise indeed for a net.sources widget. Hence, this shar archive contains the author's original code and documentation, untouched. Share and enjoy. Could be interesting!
