Hi Steven,
I've referred your question directly to someone at Duxbury, whom I believe has
considerable knowledge of SGML importation.
I also have a feeling this was improved in 10.4, but I can't be certain.

Subject: [duxuser] SGML/ICADD files from APH Repository
Hi listers,
We are having A LOT of problems importing textbooks from the APH File
Repository into Duxbury 10.3. The files are in SGML/ICADD format which is
supposed to "enable the preparation of texts for near-automatic conversion to
Grade 2 Braille" <ROFL>. The conversion is anything but near-automatic. Many
tags are translated to non-existent Duxbury style codes, and basically the
formatting is a mess. I've had to do extensive search and replaces to get them
to resemble anything anyone would want to read in braille.
Does anybody out there have any experience with these files? Any suggestions?
Are we missing something?
Thanks,
