We would like to obtain a conforming SGML parser. This parser is needed for
a data base publishing system which uses TeX as the main text formatter.
Remarks:
- The parser should run under VAX/VMS
- A callable interface would be most appropriate
- Both commercial and public domain software would be welcome

>We would like to obtain a conforming SGML parser.
SoftQuad (Toronto, Canada) claim to have an SGML parser.
Also, there's an outfit called SOBEMAP (a division of Sema-Metra)
in Brussels, who have a product called Mark It. They claim to be
doing things with SGML.

> We would like to obtain a conforming SGML parser.
At the free University Amsterdam, the Netherlands,
we have developed an SGML parser.
This parser is called the Amsterdam SGML Parser.
It is a conforming and validating parser for basic SGML.
Presently, the Amsterdam SGML Parser is used by
a large Dutch publishing company, Elsevier Science Publishers.
It is also bought by another Dutch publisher Wolters-Kluwer,
who are going to use it shortly.
The parser is developed under SUN/Unix system 4.2 and is
installed and running under VAX/VMS at Elsevier Science Publishers.
It is written in C and uses only standard C constructs as
described in Kernighan and Ritchie (The C Programming language).
Therefore it should not be too difficult to port to another machine.
The port to VMS took about a day, mainly because of deficiencies
in the C compiler used.
If you want more information about the parser, please mail us.
We have used the parser to produce the technical documentation of
the Amsterdam SGML Parser.
This was done with a preliminary backend for Troff.
We are working on a simple general backend for the parser.
This backend will allow the user to specify a substituting text
for each starttag and its attributes and for each endtag in the document.
With this backend an SGML-document can easily be converted to,
for instance, a Troff/TEX-document.
This backend should be ready in a couple of weeks.

Aspen Systems Corporation has an SGML parser called XGML which is derived from the production SMGL parser that Software Exoterica of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada developed for them. XGML is derived from the production SGML parser capability that Exoterica delivered to the Canadian Department of National Defense. Aspen Systems is located in Rockville Maryland, phone number (301)251-5000.

Thank you Mr. DeBoer for mentioning our product XGML.
I would like to clear up a couple of things though. The Department of
National Defence in Canada is a licensed end user of XGML V2.0. Aspen
Systems is a licensed distributor of XGML V3.0.
Interestingly enough, the system we delivered to Defence included a TeX
implementation.
