A page for Bravo (program), for which I do have manuals, will have to wait for another day, alas. Noel (talk) 17:10, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Have you considered scanning and putting your Bravo manual online? That's exciting, I would personally like to know much, much more about the actual capabilities of Bravo. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 21:57, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Well, I probably could. (Not right away, mind, I'm way backed up!) Also, it's rather sizeable, IIRC, and I'd have to find a place to put them. I'm a bit surprised that Xerox PARC doesn't have it online in some history section, actually. Maybe I can work with them to get it online. I have gotten (obviously) a stub online, but it needs a lot more. Noel (talk) 00:41, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I got out my copy of the Bravo manual, and it's 30 pages of the larger Alto User's Handbook, which is a real book (and this a bit of a drag to cram into the scanner). Alas, that contains a 1979 copyright notice, so I may not be able to put it online. I'll try to put the important stuff in the article. Noel (talk) 02:28, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] BravoX

Anybody want to mention BravoX, the successor to Bravo and immediate predecessor to MS Word? BravoX differed from Bravo in two important ways: it was modeless and (almost) WYSIWYG. I don't know whether any documentation survives. Rlw 17:30, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
