I made an inquiry on URW's web site yesterday, and received a response today. The short story is that what I had inferred from the postings on other lists is correct: the patent to hz-program is now owned by Adobe, and is probably the basis for their paragraph-level formatting in InDesign. So to summarize: - hz-program is not accessible to us (patented) - pdfTeX is not accessible to us (GPL) - I will try to learn what I can from the Knuth, Karow, and Seybold documents & let you know whether there is anything useful in them - I think we should feel free to learn whatever we can from TeX. In fact, I think it might be a worthwhile effort to see whether some of the TeX developers wouldn't want to join our effort. As far as I can tell, we're working on the same project with different input syntax. I wouldn't want to take developers away from TeX, but I think it is worth exploring places where we could unite development efforts. Perhaps some of the TeX guys that follows this list would like to comment on this.
