I had some experience with DWSCRIPT from IBM.  It's a full script implementation
on OS/2 (probably DOS too) including Bookmaster.  The BM stuff is implemented in
the same macros you find on MVS and VM.  Beautiful, compatible, fairly quick.
Output devices can be HP, 3812 and Postscript.
Product seems to be stabilized :-(

Any other products that will read GML Bookmaster tags?

Has Waterloo already come up with a GML that produces BookManager Build like
output?  We have a (desperate) requirement to deliver our docs in BookManager
Read format, and we do not have BM Build on our mainframe.

Any other packages that either:
- produce BM Build output (i.e. BM Read input)
- produce GML tags out of wordprocessors like
  o Lotus Manuscript
  o AMI Pro
  o PM Word
  o (any other OS/2 based wordprocessor/DTP program)
