Re: Turn Input Document Validation Off

Thanks for the suggestions!  I have used the catalog in the past
successfully.  I developing the conversion scripts and going to hand it
off to another person who will actually run the conversion.  I test data
is coming multiple sources and environments and every environment is
pointing to a different location to resolve the DTD.  Some of the files
aren't using public identifiers.

Thanks again for your awesome help!
