Marcus Hoenicka has written a very nice tutorial on setting up SGML/XML
systems under Windows. It is not specific to DocBook, but it does
include a discussion of setting up for DocBook. I found the tutorial
after I got my system working, but still found it useful. He recently
released an updated version, which appears to be even better.
SGML for NT is a tutorial that
explains how to set up and use free
software to edit and process SGML documents on M$ Windows:

If I understand what you're asking, you'll find it very useful.

Mats,
Thanks for the info, but people seem to be missing my point. I have
no problem writing an SGML or XML document, just as I have no
problem.
writing an HTML document. But unlike an HTML document which I can
publish
with a browser, I can't figure out how to publish the SGML/XML
document
since I can't get Jade to work under Windows/MS-DOS.

Bob,
I am also interested in using DocBook on a Windows platform and to
perhaps
find a more user-friendly XML/SGML application than emacs (no offense to
the
emacs-users on the list, but that is how we people with a
non-programming
background feel).
Anyway, you might be interested in the following e-mail from an
Arbortext
sales person.
--------------
The epic editor version 4.2 includes the DocBook DTD as part of the
package,
the 15k Euro price is no longer applicable. If you are interested the
price
would be 695 Euros for the Editor and 165 Euros Maintenance for a
fixed
license.
Epic 4.2 also enhances Arbortext's long-standing support of XML
standards
through an industry-first combination of full support for XSL by
offering
both XSLT and XSL-FO publishing engines. Because XSLT enables
online
publishing and XSL-FO enables print publishing, organizations that
implement
Epic 4.2 can build an automated multichannel publishing system.
