Inspired by SGML-tools, I've written my set of scripts for producing
HTML, LaTeX (and PS and PDF via TeX) and RTF from TEI Lite DTD encoded
documents.  [See the main distribution

Well, you can use all catalogs you have with SP-based tools: just list
all of them in SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable. Look to James
Clark's page (www.jclark.com), you'll find SP documentation there,
I believe.

'xtalk.price.ru' is an alias, so I hope if there will be any future
movement, I'll be able to just point it to the right place.
