Re: Xalan-J 2.6 cannot find my catalog

Maybe the better question is, what do I need in my software
environment to use a catalog file successfully?  Do I need a specific
version of Java?  What files and settings?  I've been Googling for a
step-by-step process or a checklist of some sort (cross-referencing
the error I'm encountering, as well), but without success so far.

Thanks,
Mark

Try file://C:/DITA-OT1.3/dtd/dita132/ditabase.dtd in my
catalog-dita.xml file at home.

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?
