We use NSGMLS at UC Berkeley and find it fast and easy to use. You can download a version from the Online Archive of California Toolkit page which is preconfigured to work with EAD. Just unzip the file, drag an icon out onto your desktop and drop your sgml file in to validate it. It works with both EAD version 1 and EAD beta as long as you have the correct DOCTYPE declaration at the top of your file. Although NSGMLS also validates XML, our version is configured to support SGML only. You can download it at: http://sunsite2.berkeley.edu/oac/toolkit Alvin Pollock Lead Programmer Online Archive of California http://sunsite2.berkeley.edu/oac [log in to unmask] >At 07:23 AM 1/21/1999 PST, you wrote: >>Dear EADtypes: >> >> Can anyone recommend an SGML parser that they've found is fairly user >>friendly?
