RE: [dita] Instructions for "Configuring your build environment to generate OASIS-styled PDFs"

Eliot,

Thanks for the quick response.

That's almost surely it (I'll know in about 30 minutes when the build
completes).

I updated this file in 1.5, but forgot to update it again after
installing 1.5.1. I'll let you know if that doesn't do the trick, but
I'll bet it does.

Thanks,
Dick
