I have been asked to review the proposed FIPS standard for SGML,
(Standard Generalized Markup Language), which is based on the
ISO 8879 SGML standard.  I also read with interest the article 
on SGML in the November 1987, Communications of the ACM; "Markup 
systems and the future of scholarly text processing," p. 933, Coombs, 
Renear, and DeRose. 

I find the concept very interesting, but I have found no references
to the availabilty of actual implementations.  Therefore, my question.

Is there an implementation of the SGML tools available for use in a
Unix environment?

As always, I will post a summary of replies.
