Description of Problem: db2html is a wrapper around jw, and a thin one at that. However, when originally written, it made assumptions which are no longer true. Specifical, that it would alwas work on files of the form *.sgml or *.sgm. The issue is that it uses a line like this: output="$(echo $arg | sed 's,\.sgml$,,;s,\.sgm$,,')" To figgure out the output directory. This does not work for *.xml files. Attached is a modified version of db2html, which extends the sed line. It also adds a command line switch for '-o' which allows explicit setting of the output directory the way that help says it will.

Oops, yes. I didn't think about XML when I wrote it. Thanks.
the -o switch I put in is all wrong. :( Trying to fix.
This version seems to be much better. Sorry about the last one. It was friday and I was heading for a date, so I didn't test it much.

Crutcher: learn shell one day. :-) I see what you're trying to do, and I will fix it for next time.
Fixed in 0.6.9-21. I left -o out: if you care, use docbook2html instead.
