Under Windows NT 4 (but this may not influence global configuration):
DocBook XML 4.1.2
DocBook DSSSL 1.5.8 (with dbl1zhcn.ent, dbl1zhcn.dsl and dbl1hu.ent 
modified by N.Walsh, which will be part of 1.5.9 - sent separately of the 
list post).
Jade for Window 1.2.1

Currently I type all my XML files with Unicode-UTF8 encoding (SC Unipad on 
Windows NT, nice for Unicode).
My environment variables are:
         SGML_CATALOG_FILES=o:\tools\doctools\catalogs.txt
         SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES
         SP_ENCODING=xml
(note: I tried SP_ENCODING=XML (uppercase) and it gives me few problems 
with HTML output, where automatically generated strings (bottom of page 
with "Next"/"Previous" in french "Suivant"/"Précédent" has diacritics in 
ISO encoding while my text has diacritics in UTF8 encoding).

After a long email exchange with Norman Walsh, my catalog file finally only 
contain:
         CATALOG "o:\tools\doctools\jade\catalog"
         CATALOG "o:\tools\doctools\docbook\docbook.cat"
(I put them into a text file and make this text file my catalog file - this 
allow to easily change catalog without having to change SGML_CATALOG_FILES 
environnement variable when doing tests).

I have defined two batch files to call jade with the right options, docrtf.bat:
<<
@echo Generation du .rtf a partir du .xml (DTD DocBook) et avec jade
jade -t rtf -f error.log -d 
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\print\docbook.dsl 
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\dtds\decls\xml.dcl %1
 >>

And dochtml.bat:
<<
@echo Generation du .html a partir du .xml (DTD DocBook) et avec jade
jade -t sgml -f error.log -i html -d 
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\html\docbook.dsl 
O:\tools\doctools\DocBookDSSSL\dtds\decls\xml.dcl %1
 >>

Finally, the last unresolved problem (but which has no effect for me as I 
use UTF8 encoding characters, the output is good) is a list of errors like:
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:6:19:E: "X00E1" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:7:19:E: "X00C1" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:8:18:E: "X00E2" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:9:18:E: "X00C2" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:10:19:E: "X00E0" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:11:19:E: "X00C0" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:12:18:E: "X00E5" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:13:18:E: "X00C5" is not a 
function name
jade:o:\tools\doctools\docbook\ent/iso-lat1.ent:14:19:E: "X00E3" is not a 
function name
...


Hope this help.

A+

Laurent.
