Why does all the SGML software and documentation in the world read as though it was carefully designed to prevent any actual document production from getting done? The < http://sourceware.cygnus.com/docbook-tools/ > page directs me to < ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com:/pub/docbook-tools >. That server is perpetually swamped. Going to one of the mirrors, I find a docbook-3.1-5.noarch.rpm, but it does not contain any of the db2* scripts referenced on the DocBook page. Where are those scripts? -- Eric S.
