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.
        220 ruby FTP server (Version 6.12 Thu Apr 23 21:09:30 EDT  1992) ready.
        Name (ftp.ora.com:dale): anonymous
        331 Guest login ok, send e-mail address as password.
        Password: <-- type e-mail address
        ftp> cd pub/davenport/docbook

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.,
103A Morris Street, Sebastopol, California, 95472.
