I don't know, really.
DocEx is only a browser, the authoring tool is Concordia, and I think
Concordia gives the sources to NSAGE. Also, the DocEx files were shipped in
"binary" form. With Concordia you could "uncompress" them, making them
readable by Concordia and editable.

Concordia was sold as a separate package.

BTW: I still can't find an authoring tool like Concordia around, that
produces a database of documentation ...
