Walking a DTD is very tough, as it isn't a valid XML document. You'll probably have to write a program to do it via ordinary file system access.
An XSD schema is much easier to parse with a DOM, plus provides much tighter control over the contents of it's XML documents.

Thanks for that. Is it possible to use any other parsers to walk a DTD? Ion Filipski

Nope. The point was that a DTD can't be reliably parsed, as it's not an XML document.
You'll have to open your foobar.dtd with your programming language's equivalent to OpenFile(), read each line using the equivalent to ReadLine(), and close it using the equivalent to CloseFile(). In other words, the hard way.
