newbie jadetex woes

I'm new to SGML and DSSSL and am having some problems with the jadetex package.
I've installed jadetex 0.55 on both a hpux and linux system and am having
similar problems on both (jade1.01, and teTex mid 1997 disributions.)
I've installed the newest hypertex and jadetex references. However, when
I run the testtab.sgm example I get several problems:
1. the file refers to a non-existant DTD (4.0.0), corrected by adding
   a line to the catalog that points to art410.dtd. 
2. the files refer to art401.ent which is not included in the distribution.
3. when I attempt to use jadetex on the resulting files, I get a slew of error
messages, some of which are included below. What have I done wrong, and
how do I fix them?

Thanks.
