- There is a product called OmniMark from Software Exoterica in Ottawa, Canada
- which we have been using to translate text to SGML from a number of different
- formats including ASCII and WordPerfect. We have found this to be an
- excellent tool and have used it to translate thousands of pages of text.
-
- OmniMark is very full-functioned and therefore a fairly expensive product,
- however they have an academic research licence which is only $250. Anyone
- interested can contact Eric Skinner at (613)722-1700 or by email at
- ers@xgml.com.
-
- By the way I have no involvement with this company except as a happy user.
