It was considered to be an influence in the development of markup languages such as SGML.

Rights to it were sold to a company called Unilogic, Ltd., who offered it as a commercial product.
Reid received the Association for Computing Machinery's Grace Murray Hopper Award in 1982 for his work on Scribe.
