    Yes, this is the relevant message and is the latest.
    
    I just checked it against 4.2, and it compiles, but there may
    be things in these modules that will need to be updated for 4.2
    (I haven't looked into it).
    
    The way I "modularized" things was designed to highlight the 
    "pedigree" of the code and allow it to work with a minimum of 
    changes to the original modules, and I'm not suggesting that 
    is the way to organize it if/when we put this into DocBook.
    
    I did use an SGML/XML parser, so my code does have one non-XML
    SGML-ism in it.  In bothtables.mod, the defn of %Flow; needs
    to have an asterisk added after the close paren to make it XML.
