There are links to various copies of it in the XML FAQ at http://xml.silmaril.ie/validity.html#sgmldec > When I ask for a tool that can convert a xml file to sgml, then I thought > for a free software tool. Unfortunately XMetal and Arbortext are not > free softwares. My system is a GNU/Linux system. :) Then you should already have a copy of the SGML Declaration for XML on your disk, but it may be named something other than xml.dec. My Ubuntu system seems to have something called /usr/share/xml/declaration/xml.decl as well as /usr/share/xml/declaration/xml.dcl (both also in /usr/share/sgml/declaration) so just rerun wuth $ osgmlnorm -wxml xml.dcl yourfile.xml ///Peter
