Does anybody get the idea that I'm catching up with my mail here?

Olias is a UNIX-based general SGML browser. It can be used for Web browsing,
SGML file display, online doc/help, etc. I don't believe that Frame bought
them, I think that it is an exclusive licensing agreement. (Frame wanted an
SGML browser, HAL -- a rather big and diversified company -- couldn't figure
out what to do with Olias.)
I don't know what the pricing model is for Olias vs. DynaText, but in many ways
it could be considered the same general class of program.
