I have been asked to review the proposed FIPS standard for SGML, (Standard Generalized Markup Language), which is based on the ISO 8879 SGML standard. I also read with interest the article on SGML in the November 1987, Communications of the ACM; "Markup systems and the future of scholarly text processing," p. 933, Coombs, Renear, and DeRose. I find the concept very interesting, but I have found no references to the availabilty of actual implementations. Therefore, my question. Is there an implementation of the SGML tools available for use in a Unix environment? As always, I will post a summary of replies. Bob

I see that Pnews rejected my .signature (> 4 lines) so here
is one that fits that rule set.

There is a research project going on here at OSU directed by Sandy Mamrak called Chameleon which appeared in CACM May 1987 and IEEE TSE May 1987 which is a document translation system. The domain they are researching is pretty broad, but the testbed for experiments is currently the translation of documents between different storage formats. They are working of tools to translate existing systems to SGML (TeX, Scribe, NROFF, MS-Word, etc.) and other tools which will take SGML and produce documents in target formats. The tools are running on a Sun workstation.
