Spyglass Document Generator (SGMAN)

OEM versions

While the editor became much less popular during the 90s than it had been in the 80s the program's author managed to get a number of OEM deals for the program so it might be more familiar to users as a bundled text editor.

  • Lahey shipped an OEM version of Captain Blackbeard with all of their DOS compiler products from ca. 1989 onwards.
  • Meridian Systems shipped it with their Meridian Open Ada compilers but renamed it ACE and removed any references to Blackbeard.
  • The LaTeX editing system LaCoD was also built on top of Blackbeard.
