Hello,
I will fix the compile error... where did you find 1.0.11?

&gt; The following is about the sgmltools for LinuxDoc DTD. It seems that
&gt; there is a version 1.0.11 in addition to the 1.0.10 that I previously
&gt; mentioned. As you will note the person who created the above two
&gt; bug-fixed versions has bowed out. So we need someone to maintain the
&gt; version 1 of these tools. I think it should replace the current Debian
&gt; distribution sgml-tools 1.0.9. I wrote to the Debian maintainer but get no
&gt; response. Since a program exists to convert Debain to RPM (Redhat, etc.)
&gt; it would be possible for most people to get sgml-tools 1.0.11 pre-compiled.
&gt;
&gt; Is anyone willing to work on this project? A first step might just be to
&gt; get the source to 1.0.11 (or perhaps call it 1.0.12 after fixing the
&gt; problem I had compiling) and put it a metalab. Eventually we may go to
&gt; DocBook DTD but for the meantime we need to keep using this 1-series of
&gt; sgml-tools.

&gt; &gt;&gt; I picked up your sgmltools 1.0.11 and get error message while compiling:
&gt; &gt;&gt; rtf2rtf.l:56: initializer element is not constant.
&gt; &gt;&gt; Ditto for line 57.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt; These lines are like:
&gt; &gt;&gt; FILE *out = stdout;
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt; I guess the value of stdout (a pointer) is not known to the compiler.
&gt; &gt;&gt; Should these assignments go into main so they are assigned at runtime?
&gt; &gt;&gt; I did this and it compiled OK. That is, I left only &quot;FILE *out;&quot; at the
&gt; &gt;&gt; start of the file and put &quot;out = stdout;&quot; into main. I'm not sure if
&gt; &gt;&gt; this is the correct fix.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt; Your new version has fixed the &quot;too many blank lines&quot; problem.

&gt; &gt;Interesting. It took 3 months until I got a feedback. In the meantime I
&gt; &gt;got bored by all that LinuxDOC x DocBook and gave up.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I sent in August 3 a new version of the Portuguese-HOWTO that was never
&gt; &gt;updated at metalab and soon realized that I didn't want to spend the rest
&gt; &gt;of my life writing &quot;if your Linux distribution is &quot;Blah&quot;, ... , but if it
&gt; &gt;is &quot;Turbo-Bla-Blah&quot;, ... :-P. With more than 20 Linux distributions on the
&gt; &gt;street, there were too much &quot;...&quot;s to write.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I left all the LDP lists and LDP itself. It's dead to me.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;The answer to your question is: &quot;I don't care&quot;.
