Stop right there :-)
If sgmls can't find the DTD, don't expect much else to work.

You need to set up a catalog file (or if you've got
a pre-1.1.91 version of sgmls, set $SGML_PATH (shudder)
correctly).
You also need to supply the SGML declaration for HTML
on the command line. Get html.decl from
<URL:http://www.hal.com/~connolly/html-spec/html-pubtext.html>
(a catalog file and the HTML DTD(s) are there too)
and run
sgmls html.decl browserbuster.html
It parses fine.
