OCLC Announces Free Access to Fred.

Fred is an ongoing research project at the Online Computer Library
Center (OCLC) studying the manipulation of tagged text.

Fred's ability to create reduced representations (DTD's) from tagged
text will be of particular interest to the SGML/HTML community.

You can read more about Fred and access Fred's free DTD creation
services via Fred's home page:

To get a feel for the DTD creation service, you can:

2) enter "http://www.oclc.org/fred/" as the URL sample document you
