      ANNOUNCING SGMLS.pm: A Post-Processor for SGMLS and NSGMLS
			     3 July 1995
************************************************************************

Since the beta-testers have reported no serious bugs, I am now
announcing the official release of SGMLSpm, a free perl5
object-oriented postprocessor for James Clark's SGMLS and NSGMLS
parsers.  The main part of this release is a library, SGMLS.pm, which
repackages the ESIS output of (N)SGMLS into perl5 objects.  On top of
this, I have built a script, sgmls.pl, for formatting or processing
SGML documents quickly using event patterns.

Like CoST (which is several times slower), and unlike QWERTZ (etc.),
SGMLSpm is a general-purpose package which can be used with any DTD.
It even includes a script, skel.pl, which will write a skeleton
conversion script for your document automatically!

For more information, please see my <a
href="http://www.uottawa.ca/~dmeggins/Index.html">home page</a>, or
download the package from ftp://aix1.uottawa.ca/pub/dmeggins/.  I
check my e-mail only two or three days a week over the summer, but I
will answer questions if and when I have the chance.  Good luck, and
enjoy!


David
