Subj: ICADD AND WORDPERFECT

         In our office at GSA, Paul Fontaine has just gotten word
         from the manager of electronic publishing tools for
         WordPerfect that the International Committee on
         Accessible Document Design (ICADD) document type
         discription, (DTD) is being included in their Intellitag
         upgrade. Now in english, this means, I think,
         Wordperfect has a packaged called Intellitag that is
         used to produce SGML files. ICADD has developed a group
         of "tags" that when used, can help to make document
         conversion into speech and braille easier.
         The next version of Intellitag, coming out next week,
         will have as one of its options to save files as ICADD
         compliant, or some such phrase.
         A week ago the wordperfect manager for electronic
         publishing was at our office to learn about
         accessibility and he was very eager to include to set of
         ICADD tags in their products.
           He also said that in a future upgrade of wordperfect
         for windows, 6.2 or .3, Intellitag with the ICADD
         standards will be an intrigral part of Wrodperfect, not
         an add-on.
         To get more info on just what these tags and document
         discriptions are all about you'll have to pose your
         questions to someone like Richard Jones, or Mike
         Paciello, this stuff breaks my brain. The only thing I
         do know is this is a possitive move on the part of
         Wordperfect.

Cordially, Curtis Chong
