What is MCC? A Linux distribution I don't know? Anyway, if it's in kernel
1.2.13 and a.out, it is probably quite old. Backuping, installing Debian and
restoring may be the best choice. If it's an old Debian, you can upgrade it to
the current one but probably not in one step.

Debian is agnostic :-) You can use any DTD you prefer. Most of the Debian
documentation is written in DebianDoc. I, myself, use DocBook.
To have an idea of the tools needed, the Debian SGML HOWTO gives a list:
docbook
docbook-doc
sp
jade
docbook-stylesheets
jadetex
debiandoc-sgml
psgml
SGMLtools, version 1 (and may be version 2 as well)
The tasks-sgml meta-package, in potato, is also a good list of needed packages.

Which DTD? You can convert LinuxDoc to DocBook/SGML with the SGMLtools,
version 2, available in potato. And the 'sx' tool (which is, I believe, in
potato, but I don't remember in which package and I have only slink boxes at
home) can translate SGML to XML.
For HTML, what do you want? HTML/SGML to XHTML (the XML version)? sx can
probably do so as well. Remember that most HTML files are not legal, even in
the most lax sense, so any SGML tool will probably choke on them.
