Thanks for the suggestion. I changed all the URI references in my
catalog file to file://C: etc.

<public publicId="-//IBM//DTD DITA Composite//EN"
         uri="file://C:/DITA-OT1.3/dtd/dita132/ditabase.dtd"/>

"java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\sabadoc\ditabase.dtd (The system
cannot find the file specified)."

Thanks,
Mark

I don't know if it is relevant, but the URI concerned looks doubtful to me.
You are using a URI scheme named C. You should be using the file scheme.

Maybe you are getting lucky on one machine, and the working directory is the
root?
