The DOCTYPE declaration at the beginning of your ead file concludes with
the system identifier "ead.dtd" just before the closing >. Delete it
using a text editor like NotePad and see what happens. This should not
be there and is usually a result of the notorious ead.rls file that
SoftQuad has distributed with Author/Editor that is incorrect. If this
is the case, you can get the correct file from the Berkeley library ftp
site.

>Hi All,
>Following the LOC's instructions for implementing EAD, I downloaded the
>specific files and placed them in the same directory as my first
>EAD-tagged file. When Netscape invokes Panorama Pro and tries to display
>the .sgm file properly, the parser immediately gives me 2 sequential error
>messages each time:
>
>1)the first is that there is a syntax error within the file ead.dtd. The
>parser indicated the syntax error is in the first line of the
>file, and indicates it is between the first two strings, <!DOCTYPE [cursor
>goes here] ead
>
>2)the second message says the viewer failed to locate the URL's for two
>files: "entityrc" and "catalog". I am suspecting that this error is a
>direct result of it not reading the dtd properly.

>The file, if anyone is interested, may be found at

>Any advice is appreciated.
>Sincerely,
