In general, you need a tool capable of reading whatever instantiation
of SGML the files are and doing appropriate processing/rendering. For
certain DTDs, you probably already have appropriate software, but
those files are generally referred to as just "HTML". :-)
While I haven't looked at the WINE documentation, I wouldn't be
surprised if the files are in DocBook format. (Look at the first line
of the file; it should have a <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration, and it'll
say if it's DocBook or something else.) For general-purpose SGML
processing, I'd recommend installing the jade and jadetex packages.
To format DocBook documents, also install docbook and
docbook-stylesheets.
At this point, you're ready to do the formatting. Look for a DSSSL
style sheet file (it'll probably have a .dsl extension); if one
doesn't exist, use
/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/print/docbook.dsl
instead. Then run
jade -t tex -d (name-of-dsl-file) file.sgml
jadetex file
jadetex file
xdvi file
dvips file (etc.)
