I've zapped over to ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com and I'm downloading the 
files in docbook-tools, as mentioned in the Handbook. I've also found 
libxslt and libxml2 on rpmfind.net, which I will install with the RedHat 
7.2 disks I am waiting for.

Gnumeric sounds interesting - otherwise I guess I just e-mail people listed 
on the Doctable asking if they need help?

Thanks for your help.
