Great!! I'm happy to hear about this news.

I see. Let's clear this problem.

The jlinuxdoc-sgml 1.1 package is provided as patch files against 
linuxdoc-sgml 1.1 .
I got the patch file from ftp://epsenewsc.gee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/misc .

Yes. The XFree86 Project, inc. is also using the linuxdoc-sgml.
I'm translating docs based on XFree86 *.sgml files.
And I added "mail:" in those *.sgml docs with translation.
The (j)linuxdoc-sgml may be able to convert to html with some
pictures. Sorry, I don't tested yet.

Please get both linuxdoc-sgml 1.1 + jlinuxdoc-sgml 1.1.
It has some known some tweak points. Please touch me.

I saw this page with gif image by Netscape 1.1N (Mac Version).
This page is linking to JF Project.
I am joining to the JF Project via the JF-ML.
The jlinuxdoc-sgml made by the JF Project members.

BTW, What's the _Computing Japan_; is this a Magazine in Japan ?

I'm not LaTeXnician ;-). But I'll try.

Are you run "jlatex texjman.tex" two times ?

It's a good indication, I think.

How about "ls -la"'s result. after two times run.
