thank you norman.G.Orwell must be considering himself lucky in his grave ,he
didn't have to deal with abbrev/acronyms . ;-)
now i guess you are referring to db149.zip and subsequently db150.zip when you
point  to 
>See http://nwalsh.com/docbook/{dsssl |xsl} for more

i have downloaded both(not that stupid to think they are seperate things but
db150 is an upgrade to db149)
 but i reallly have got stumped , after i unzip it ,
what  do i do,put it in my /usr/lib/sgml before i get to use it 
it is mentions under Manifest 
doc/ contains instllation and referance documention
no such thing but then i remember seing on your website that this is is seperate
are you referring to "html/ contains the HTML stylesheet (for use with -t sgml)"
but then i use the script db2html it is very convenient =)
do i need to hack into this script , i am not good at such things yet 

i have tried using your 
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC  
       "+//IDN nwalsh.com//DTD DocBook DSSSL Architecture V1.0//EN" [
do i still have to use stylesheets 
i know onething for sure that  i am terribly confused ,my apologies  if  i am
confusing you in the process 
i guess it is time for you and mark to overhaul Docbook tutorial ;-)
any help?
thank you once again
regards
