Sgmlfmt(1) does not expand relative URLs in the printed
version (PostScript, latin1).

$ grep '<URL:' handbook.latin1 | 
	egrep -iv '<URL:(ftp|mailto|news|http|file)'

2. <URL:handbook.latin1>
3. <URL:handbook.ps>
4. <URL:FAQ-html.tar.gz>
6. <URL:handbook.latin1>
7. <URL:handbook.ps>
9. <URL:/search.html>
12.<URL:../FAQ/userppp.html>
20.<URL:../ports/mail.html>
211.<URL:../mozilla.html>


a) Add an option to sgmlfmt which expand the URLs 
b) run a postprocessor which expand the URLs in the output file

State-Changed-When: Fri Apr 9 14:24:15 PDT 1999 
State-Changed-Why:  
You can't use relative URLs in the Handbook / FAQ, because you don't 
know where it's going to be installed relative to the rest of the 
website (or even *if* it's going to be installed with the rest of 
the website).
