     SYNOPSIS
          sgml2 [spec] < [SGML MARKUP] > [SGML DOC]

     DESCRIPTION
          The sgml to anything converter

          What "sgml2" does.

           It takes a specification (e.g. ./html) that is basically a DTD and
           produces an output file from your <TAGGED> document corresponding
           to the DTD.

           This gives an introduction to the concept of "Generalized Markup"
           (Goldfarb et al 1970); where the tags describe a documents structure
           rather than its physical  characteristics.   The physical
           characteristics can be rendered by the veiwing software acording to
           the programmers whim.

           This gives you a flexible systm for controlling the output of your
           SGML source, without having to write a full DTD.

     USE
          How does it work?

           Sgml2 needs a configuration-file which is used to determine what
           tag-names are known and how the affect the output.

           The configuration-file(s) should be moved to a location referenced
           by the envionment variable SGML2LIB.
