Hi Jane, According to the README ftp://ftp.loc.gov/pub/marcdtd/readme_1st.txt
It looks like you need "version 1.2 or later of the free nsgmls parsers." Which is why "'nsgmls' is not recognized as an internal or external command" is returned. If you already have it installed, then it's just not immediately accessible in your current PATH.
