- Hi,
- I just joined this list and can't seem to access the archives at
- http://eies2.njit.edu:80/wmail.html. So, I don't know what's been
- discussed recently. Where else can I find the archives?
- I'm interested in HTML/SGML authoring tools. Can we have an update
- on the status of any X11-based editor? We would like to start
- generating HTML and are evaluating which course is the best to take.
- We could buy a NeXTStep machine, or Framemaker for our Suns. But
- it would really be great if we had an X11-based editor on a par with
- Xmosaic. I may be able to find the time to contribute to such an
- effort. How about it, Marc? What's the prognosis?
- What about commercial SGML authoring systems such as ArborText? Is
- anyone out there using them? Does anyone have anything good/bad to
- say about any of them?
- One project we are considering getting started on is integrating the
- Z39.50 information retrieval protocol into WWW. We're a library and
- Z39.50 is becoming *very* important to us. Z39.50, by the way, is
- essentially the protocol used by WAIS (with a few caveats). I have
- yet to take a close look at the WWW-WAIS gateway code. Comments?
- Finally, in http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu:80/www-overview.html, TBL
- says
- HTML is eventually going to be a real ``standard''; by
- the time that happens, it should be fully SGML-compliant.
- What does "real" mean in this context? Which standards organization(s)
- are involved?
