   This other option you suggest here is a program that translates some SCRIBE
   documents ("with minimal modification" to their markup source) into HTML.
   DEC went out of business long ago, and for a while apparently HP maintained
   their public software archive (http://gatekeeper.dec.com), but that site 
   is dead.
   (The landing page is there, but all the archive toplevel links are 404.)
   So I have no idea how that program was written, of if it even exists now.
   Let alone what build and runtime environment might be needed.

Do you know anyone we could contact?  Maybe it could be saved..

   Scheme is available on all modern computers.  

Not on the CADR!

But SAB Reader does work really well on systems that have Scheme.

   Furthermore, if you just boot Genera and go into the Document Examiner
   (Concordia's viewer), you can do Hardcopy With Links, and the resulting
   files will be rendered as hardcopy that can be read on the toilet.
   Putting your finger on the paper page will automatically shuffle the pages.
   This is documented in the paper "Lambda - The Ultimate Cross Reference".
   OK, maybe I made this last part up.

:-)
