the external general entities (files) which were getting pulled in already
contained a <programlisting/> element; this XML element was not necessary, but
the lack of an <areaspec/> inside the <programlistingco/> was giving xmllint
fits.
apparently, DocBook is quite picky about the order of children elements within
the <affiliation/> element; so rearranged; and also only one of <revremark/>
or <revdescription/> is (technically) allowed in a <revision/>, so I chose to
convert the <revremark/> elements to <remark/> and drop them inside of a
<revdescription/>, which allows much richer expression of content
I don't know how this document ever validated before. There were countless
locations where there were extra </itemize> closing tags and tons of missing
<itemize> opening tags.
I tried not to do any violence to the nesting, but it was very difficult to
understand, given the ambiguity. The document now validates and can be built.
the entire set of directories here had been checked in (in 2005) under
NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO; and has since been moved to a subdirectory,
NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/resources
this is cruft and does not need to be here (there are even newer files in the
NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/resources/ncurses_programs directory

Subject: Linux User Group HOWTO v. 1.8.5 ready
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 04:30:58
Good folks, I have a major revamp of HOWTO ready for the submission
process.
http://linuxmafia.com/lug/User-Group-HOWTO.sgml
This is Linuxdoc SGML, selected by original author Kendall Grant Clark
back in 1997. I've verified clean parsing of this revision.
HTML output here: http://linuxmafia.com/lug/User-Group-HOWTO.html
Licence has been modified slightly on this release from the prior
CC BY-SA 3.0, to CC BY-SA 4.0 (current revision). CC BY-SA is listed as
an accepted licence on http://wiki.tldp.org/LdpWikiDefaultLicence ,
and I doubt the revamped licence text would create any problme. (If
LDP has a problem with 4.0, I will back-rev that.)
I hope someone will do me the courtesy of picking up the SGML file and
feeding it into GitHub. Please advise. Thank you!

Several <xref/> elements used the endterm attribute, which takes the entire
content contained in the element as replacement. Because the endterm was
also, for example, a <section/>, the replaced text was a gigantic (multi-page)
link with the whole section included. Unintended, I'm sure.
