85		&xmlcatalog; is a command line application allowing users to monitor and
86		manipulate <acronym>XML</acronym> and <acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. It

92	<para>
93		Its functions can be invoked from a single command from the command line,
94		or it can perform multiple functions in interactive mode. It can operate
95		on both <acronym>XML</acronym> and <acronym>SGML</acronym> files.
