List of Commercial Doc Assembly Engines (from a slide)
ABF Processor
ActiveDocs
Agility – Agility, from RealWorld Solutions, was a DOS-based product most suitable for offices using pre-Windows versions of WordPerfect. The program had a deliberate strategy of simplicity. Agility included most of the basic features one would expect in a document assembly tool, including nested logic and repeat loops. But as there is no Windows version, non integration with any word processor, and no math functions it lacked viability for search document assembly applications.
