The filenames have not changed accidentally, I am running the command from the 
same directory where the sgml file is, I have tried it with the the sgml-tools 
pkg (which was not an upgrade, but a fresh installation) and it is the 
standard example created long ago by Matt Wels.

However, I don't have latex (nor latex2e). I have tetex instead. I thought 
tetex is a latex substition, at least when looking at basics functionality. 
Indeed the sgml-tools package did not comment on this, even though latex is 
one of its sugestions. And in any case,

	bash-2.00$ man sgml2latex

	SGML2LATEX(1)                                       SGML2LATEX(1)

	NAME
 	      sgml2latex  -  create plain text output from a SGML source
  	     file
	
	SYNOPSIS
 	      sgml2latex  [-2e]  [-aCdglps]  [-style  s  ]   [-t   n   ]
	]
 	      file[.sgml]

	DESCRIPTION
 	      sgml2latex  converts  a  SGML source file to LaTeX output,

		[...]
	OPTIONS
	       -2e    Uses LaTeX2e instead of LaTeX 2.09

I had other difficulties with sgml2latex, for example with the -p (postscript) 
option.
Eventualy, I succeded made sgml2latext convert the sgml file into dvi. Which I 
used with dvips to create the desired postscript file.
