I think I documented one or more in my book on tools but I'm away from base for 24hrs. I'll check tomorrow.
Mulberry uses Near and Far, but that is not available for purchase,
Oddly, although I mention loading a DTD from a flattened version in Near&Far (p.173) I don't say anything about using Near&Far to do the actual flattening. Debbie is well ahead of me here.
For reading existing DTDs, the solution is to bflattenb the DTD with a program such as Richard Lightbs experimental NormDTD (see this chapter) or James Clarkbs spam (see chapter 4), both of which are included on the CD-ROM.
I have snipped out those pages at http://xml.silmaril.ie/downloads/normdtd-spam.pdf
NormDTD was DOS-only (https://nl.ijs.si/et/talks/Eurolan/silSGMLpubSWedit.html#normdtd)which presumably means it will be happy in a modern DOS emulator.

You will still be able to install Win95 and then install NFD in it :-) Meanwhile there is still a small market for a good schema visualiser of the calibre of Near&Far. Nothing currently available comes anywhere near IMNSHO.
