Abstract: The availability of networks of UNIX-based graphical
        workstations has stimulated new developments in
        authoring software. The paper presents the authors'
        experiences along several fronts. First, they
        discuss the lessons learnt from developing a simple
        authoring tool to run on the Atari-ST, using the GEM
        operating system. They then discuss the development
        of software using (1) the X11 toolkit and one of the
        readily available widget sets, (2) a configurable
        editor (GNU Emacs) to develop prototype
        applications, and (3) the Andrew toolkit to
        re-implement the original Atari authoring system,
        but this time providing a tool that will allow
        several authors to collaborate closely with each
        other. The practicalities of these approaches are
        discussed with reference to their own experiences.
