If you are using XMetaL to produce XML files, you may use either the ead.rlx
file or the suite of ead files on the official EAD Web site at LC. The
former seems simpler to me.

Subject: setting up the EAD DTD
A beginner's question:
I'm planning to encode a finding aid in EAD using XMetaL. I have
downloaded the XMetaL 30-day evaluation copy, and am confused about which
files to download for the EAD DTD. I have gotten the six files from the
EAD Cookbook, and am wondering if I also need to ftp any of the files
available from the LOC site ("Version 1.0 of the EAD SGML DTD," at
http://lcweb.loc.gov/ead/eadv1ann.html#whattodo). It's my understanding
that the ead.rlx file from the Cookbook is a stand-in for the ead.dtd file
from the LOC site. If that is correct, then do I need any of the other
files they offer through ftp (such as the *.ent files)?
