Atleast i can deal with most crap without having to pay for some

I was going to convert the xkb docs into docbook-xml, but i've only
done a small amount of docbook, so i started converting it to html,
when i found those extra filemaker files. I'm still looking for a
cheap or free CD of filemaker 5.
