HaL Computer Systems International, Ltd., and O'Reilly &
Associates, Inc., announce Release 1.0 of the DocBook DTD
for computer documentation and technical books. This
DTD was developed jointly by a computer manufacturer and
a technical publisher to convert existing manuals and books
from multiple sources into SGML for delivery both in print and
on-line.
The DocBook DTD and its documentation can be found online
in the Davenport archive (/pub/davenport/docbook) at ftp.ora.com
(140.186.65.25).
Here is a sample session showing you how to retrieve the DTD
and its documentation:
% ftp ftp.ora.com
Connected to ruby.ora.com.

The DocBook DTD itself is in a file named ``docbook.dtd'':
ftp> get docbook.dtd
The ``get'' command will put this ASCII file on your
system.
The DocBook documentation is a compressed PostScript file:
ftp> binary
ftp> get docbook.ps.Z
This will put the binary file docbook.ps.Z on your system. You must
uncompress that file before sending it to a PostScript printer.
The DocBook DTD is maintained by O'Reilly & Associates. Please
direct all questions, bug reports, or suggestions for changes to
dtd@ora.com or by mail to: Terry Allen, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.,
