Norman Walsh's stylesheets are in a subdirectory (stylesheets).
Everything else is flat.

CATALOG is a generated text file.  It contains a list of document element
names (I think that's what they're called, the things like
"-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN"), and their corresponding files.
When you install new SGML stuff, you're supposed to add appropriate lines
in this file.  All decent SGML tools should add the lines automatically
when you follow their install directions.
