It was dated correctly but sent out mistakenly. Here it is again, for the record. LISTING OF SGML TOOLS ===================== The most up-to-date version of the following document can be found in the SGML archives at ftp.ifi.uio.no (as noted below). The purpose of this listing is to give a brief overview of SGML Tools currently available on the market. While we would like the list to be as comprehensive as possible, we are not interested in every piece of software that claims 'SGML compatibility'. The main criterion for inclusion in the list is that the software incorporates some kind of SGML parsing capability, or that it is in some way specifically geared to handling SGML documents. The products in the list are arranged in a set of very broad categories that should not be taken too literally since no two tools have exactly the same functionality. (We could have carried on subdividing categories forever in order to express the finer distinctions, but we had to stop somewhere...) There are bound to be some inaccuracies, for which we apologise in advance. Please send corrections and additions to the address below. Updated versions of this list will be posted periodically in the SGML Archives at ftp.ifi.uio.no.
