RE: multiple rtf files

["Jordi Mulet" <jmulet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
We have the same need.
We have builded different sgml files compliants with the Docbook DTD and
next we have created a big chunk of SGML as $$$$$ as the look for code:
<book>
    <part><title>$$$$</title>
            here the first sgml file (preface, chapter,.....)
          </part>
    <part><title>$$$$</title>
            here the secon  sgml file (preface, chapter,.....)
          </part>
    ....
    <part><title>$$$$</title>
            here the nth sgml file (preface, chapter,.....)
          </part>
     ....
</book>

Next we have generated a RTF file ... and now we want to split this file
into small files...
How is the best path to follow ?

Thanks in advance
