Subject: SGML Tutorial available at a (special) price
INTERACTIVE SGML TUTORIAL NOW AVAILABLE
>
Many readers of this list will have already come across Eric van
Herwijnen's excellent introduction to SGML "Practical SGML" (published
by Kluwer in 1990). A new hypertextual work derived from this textbook
has recently been published by Electronic Book Technologies, which the
TEI is very happy to be able to offer at a substantially discounted price.
>
The DynaText SGML Tutorial demonstrates the uses and capability of SGML
at the same time as teaching it in a simple, graduated manner. It has
two parts: one is designed for the complete novice; one for the tyro.
The reader is led gently through a series of exercises teaching the
fundamentals of SGML, including DTD construction and parsing. A
full-featured SGML parser is included with the electronic text. Readers
can use this either within the browser or independently to check the
answers to the exercises or develop their own understanding of SGML.
>
System requirements for The SGML Tutorial are as follows:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher
- VGA/SVGA colour or mono monitor
- 3.5 Mb disk storage.
>
As with most other Windows applications, you need a reasonably up to date
system (i.e. a 386 or better, running at 20 MHz or better, with at least
4 Mb RAM) to actually enjoy using the system. Our man in the white coat
points out that even entry-level DOS machines are close to this
specification these days and suggests that if your machine is below it,
it's time you bought a new one.
