John,

There is definately sgml in some of the utils in the package, so when I
compile with my dummy db2html I dont get the documentation.

I got the version 1.2.1 tarball from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/gnome-utils/
and its the latest version available there

Output from make........

make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/gnome-utils-1.2.1/gfloppy/doc/C'
if [ ! -d gfloppy ] ; then cd . && db2html gfloppy.sgml ; fi
/bin/sh: db2html: command not found

Do I have to go to the pointy end to get a compilable version ?
