New software! Yay! Thank you for the reference!

I have a copy of 'calibre' (1.48.0) on my box and it seems to come
with something called 'ebook-convert'. I will be spending some time
with it to see how predictable it is and to see how well it handles
the outputs generated from SGML (DocBook SGML and Linuxdoc). This
may be a good solution, jdd.
Thanks for the pointer,
-Martin
