<H1>Is there an easier way to make specification files?</H1>
<P>Yes. The script <TT>skel.pl</TT>, included in this
package, is an <A HREF=sgmlspl.html><TT>sgmlspl</TT></A> specification which writes a specification
(!!!). To use it under Unix, try something like</P>
<P>
<PRE>sgmls foo.sgml | sgmlspl skel.pl > foo-spec.pl</PRE>
</P>
<P>(presuming that there is a copy of <TT>skel.pl</TT>
in the current directory or in a directory searched by <A HREF="http://www.metronet.com/0/perlinfo/perl5/manual/perl.html"><TT>perl5</TT></A>) to
generate a new, blank template named
<TT>foo-spec.pl</TT>.</P>
