Docbook-Slides with xsltproc

["And ->" <a.flow@tiscali.it>]

Hello i'm a docbook & Xml newbie,
I'm tryng to process the test.xml file of the slide-3.3. pakage mantained
by Norman Walsh, using xsltproc. I don't use saxon and other java parsers
because i have an old JRE on my machine, and i have no experience with
java. The stylesheet is detected by the parser, but the compilation, seems
to go in loop and take a lot of time and a lot of CPU, without ending!

I also tryed with mozilla but i had the gray screen...
==== xsltptoc version (output?) =======================================
$ xsltproc -V

Using libxml 20502, libxslt 10025 and libexslt 716
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20502, libxslt 10025 and libexslt 716
libxslt 10025 was compiled against libxml 20502
libexslt 716 was compiled against libxml 20502

==============================================================
Steps:

1) I added the stylesheet instruction to the test file
============================================================
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE slides SYSTEM "../schema/dtd/slides.dtd">
<?dbhtml graphics-dir="../graphics"?>
<?dbhtml css-stylesheet="../browser/slides.css"?>
<?dbhtml script-dir="../browser"?>
<!-- stylesheet instruction -->
<?xml-stylesheet  type="text/xsl" href="../xsl/html/plain.xsl"?>

<slides>
<slidesinfo>
  <title>Test Slides Title That's Really Really Long and Would Never
Really Be U
sed Exactly Like This</title>
  <copyright><year>2001</year><holder>Norman Walsh</holder></copyright>
</slidesinfo>....
===========================================================

2)then:

$ xsltproc -v test.xml

==== OUTPUT ===============================================

=============================================================
... the output is very long but it doesn't produce any html...

Thankyou in advance
