Developing the OSF Recommendations
    by Eve Maler, principal technical editor at Digital Equipment 
    Corp in Nashua, New Hampshire, and Jeanne El Andaloussi, 
    manager of electronic documentation at Bull in Paris, France.

    The Open Software Foundation has been working on an 
    initiative to create a DTD for the interchange of computer 
    documentation. Ms. Maler and Ms. El Andaloussi detail the 
    steps taken by the group to assimilate existing DTDs and 
    other markup forms currently used by OSF member companies 
    into a single, comprehensive DTD.
    
    An interesting method of describing document structure with a 
    novel tree diagram, as well as a method of finding common 
    characteristics of elements with different names is 
    discussed. A presentation on these recommendations was 
    presented by the authors at SGML '92 last week.
    
SGML Market Expands
    Along with the strong attendance at the recent SGML '92 
    conference in Boston, <TAG> has seen a surge in subscribers, 
    leading us to conclude that the SGML market is expanding at a 
    an unprecedented rate. We are also encouraged by the 
    announcement and release of SGML-savvy tools from major 
    vendors, and the coverage of SGML in mainstream publications 
    like Byte, BusinessWeek, the Seybold Report and the TeX 
    Newsletter.
    
Frame Technology Expands Its Product Family with FrameBuilder
    A brief report on Frame Technology's newly announced 
    FrameBuilder and its assorted tools: FrameBuilder Developer 
    Edition, FrameBuilder, and Frame Support.
    
Timely News, Calendar, and Users' Group information completes the 
issue.

As this issue was being printed, Agfa announced that their CAPS 
product line was being merged in with the rest of Agfa. A full 
report will appear in the December issue of <TAG>.
