Seems like this would cause confusion at this point.. Because I have heard that current sgml-tools v1 & v2 do cause the confusion among users / writers in LDP. I think "sgml-tools" should mean the work provided by Cees, and it has been v2, the tools for DocBook. I am afraid that if I release the new "sgml-tools" 1.0.10, or newer version, then users / writers will get into more confusion. The bug-fixed version of sgml-tools v1, will keep to be the tools for LinuxDoc DTD, so Linuxdoc-Tools are better name for it to avoid the confusion, I think. But if you, Adam, or Cees, advise me to use the name of "SGML-Tools-V1", then I will follow you.

I don't see the need to change it. I think if users of Linuxdoc DTD will be familiar with the way of SGMLTools-2 or SGMLTools-Lite, then it will work for them when they finally decide to move on the DocBook DTD. # Maybe minor thing, since people who use DocBook DTD not always # use the SGMLTools-2, and some prefer to use jade/openjade itself # via scripts written by themselves. But I wish to express the # respect for Cees, so I followed the way of SGMLTools-2. BTW, preveious one has a bug in sgmlcheck, so I replace it with the newer version. They can be download from the same location, for the time being. <http://www.debian.org/~sano/linuxdoc-tools/> Files are: (source archive, including Debian related staff) 541765 May 17 14:58 linuxdoc-tools_0.3.6-1.tar.gz (Debian only files) 575 May 17 15:05 linuxdoc-tools_0.3.6-1.dsc 929 May 17 15:05 linuxdoc-tools_0.3.6-1_i386.changes 217906 May 17 15:00 linuxdoc-tools_0.3.6-1_i386.deb Thanks. -- Taketoshi Sano: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
