Yes, but something similar would apply to usr/share also. > Either way will work for me-though there's something a little more > elegant about > > ../slides/ > 1.0/ > 1.1/ > Than > > ../slides-1.0/ > ../slides-1.1/ > > I can make either work.

Add the '4.1' and '4' symlinks to the latest stable DTD versions. Just to clarify, the symlinks are only for the DTD/entity stuff (things referenced normally via a formal public identifier (FPI)). I'd like to see a more complete picture, esp including docbook DTD and docbook-xml and your derivatives and how they play out, including symlinks. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
