Dear Pat

You need to parse the file with a validating parser - such as MSXML
(included in Internet Explorer) or Xerces - which will check the file
against the DTD.  You should find this link is a good starting point:

http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/dtd_validation.asp

Do you have a preferred parser, programming language or platform?  This
would help list members to recommend tools.

kind regards

Steve Baker
