This is getting a bit off topic since XML catalogs
are not an XSL topic.
Check the paths in the example.  The saxon65.jar file 
contains DocBook XSL extension functions, while saxon651.jar
is the Saxon XSLT processor.

Yes, semicolons in the CLASSPATH are required on Windows.

To ensure all the DTD modules are looked up properly,
add something like this to your catalog (you will need
to fix the path):

   <!-- Resolve DTD PUBLIC identifiers -->
    <nextCatalog  catalog="docbook42/catalog.xml" />

This lets the catalog file that ships with the DocBook
DTD handle the other DTD modules.

Something like this replaces the URL prefix with
a local filename prefix for all the files under it:

 <group  xml:base="/usr/share/xml/" >

    <!-- Resolve DTD URL system ID to local file -->
    <rewriteSystem
        systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/";
        rewritePrefix="docbook42/" />
    <!-- Resolve stylesheet URL to local file -->
    <rewriteURI
        uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/";
        rewritePrefix="docbook-xsl-1.56.1/" />

 </group>

If you are using an "http://..."; URL on the command
line, then add the -u option to Saxon so it treats it
as a URL.
