We at Grasshopper have been building such a list. It is not complete
(in particular, NEmacs from Unipress is not yet listed) but it should
give you some idea of what is available. If you have any updates
to this info, please send them to "tech@toad.com" and we'll fold them in.

softquad Publishing Software -- Product Summary
+1 800 387 2777, +1 416 963 8337
SoftQuad Inc., 720 Spadina Avenue,Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 2T9
Device-independent text and graphic processing
for laserprinters, typesetters, and impact printers.
Powerful and flexible, SoftQuad Publishing Software is a high
performance derivation of AT&T's Documenter's Workbench, complete
with troff, eqn, tbl, pic and grap processors for text, equations,
tables, graphics and graphs.
SoftQuad Publishing Software is a cost-effective solution for most
publishing and in-house publishing tasks: manuals, reports, books,
proposals, price lists, newsletters, and memos. The software
provides the tools to simply and methodically create macro formatting
packages to produce typeset quality output, taking full advantage
of the capabilities of all popular printing devices for those users
who have neither the time nor the expertise to painstakingly design
each page.
Because of its heritage as a true building-block program within
UNIX, SoftQuad Publishing Software can format and print text
files from any source, including word processor, database and
spreadsheet applications. It can run alone or invisibly, behind
other applications, to create fine quality, reproducible laserprinter
output or inexpensive proofs which emulate the line and page breaks
of high-cost typeset galleys.
Features include typeface and point size changes, justification,
centering, hyphenation, page and section numbering, multiple columns,
proper character fit (kerning) and user definable hyphenation
exception dictionary. Newly added features include bitmap inclusion,
white lettering on dark background, and landscape printing.
Detailed, readable manuals are included. Screen previewers for
NeWS and X-windows are also available for a variety of machines.
SoftQuad Publishing Software is available for virtually all UNIX
and MS-DOS computers, including, of course, the Apple Macintosh II
and IIX running A/UX.

Art Images. These images come on MacOS floppies that can be
read with the A/UX 'hfx' toolbox utility into AppleDouble
format files. The data fork of the AppleDouble file (you can
throw away the half that starts with a %) can be previewed with
'paper'. 3G has graciously provided some sample images; they
are viewable under the Demos => Previewer => Paper menu in
MacNews 1.1.10.
