NICE technologies SGML Tools Listing

Disclaimer: this information was gathered by us from a variety of sources, mainly the Internet. It has not been verified by the companies that are listed (yet). We have concentrated on vendors of products rather than on consultants and systems integrators. Please contact us (or fill in the SGML vendor questionnaire) and we will update the information where necessary.

We tried to determine at least whether the products are still sold and supported. Products that we could find some evidence of were given a number. This list was compiled in october 1996, and it was last modified on November 08, 1996. See here for some statistics and some global remarks about the overall SGML software industry. Click here for the RTF version of this list.

Sources: Steve Pepper's Whirlwind guide, Robin Cover's SGML pages, Brian Travis and Dale Waldt's SGML Implementation guide, our own market research.

Legend: Supported platforms (where known) are shown in parentheses as

D = MS-DOS I = IBM CMS/MVS M = Macintosh O = OS/2 U = UNIX V = DEC/VMS W = MS-Windows


Product categories:
I = Document Preparation Product (Editor)
II = Document Conversion Product (Conversion)
III = Document Reuse Product (Database, Browser, Page Layout)
IV = Document Design Product (Document Analyser, Parser, DTD design tool)
