Congratulations to our monthly contest winner for November, David Noble of Orangeville, Ontario. The Seybold Report on Internet Publishing Vol. For years DynaText, created by Electronic Book Technologies and then sold to Inso, has ruled the high end of SGML document delivery. Its most serious competition came from Synex, which Inso gobbled up earlier this year.
Today there are signs that the dynasty is vulnerable.
Microsoft gives developers an alternative base platform for creating XML client software. On the server side, the lack of true database functionality in DynaWeb creates an opening for repository-based Web production servers. Rising to the challenge. Database Publishing Systems demonstrated an XML- based interactive manual running from Internet Explorer 4. The system converts SGML source files into XML, loads them into an Access database, and then pulls chunks according to HTML-encoded pages.
