"Hi Derek,
You may want to try the cns utility to see if it will
read your text
file
and output an SGML. You can get the utility from:

This is indeed the biggest part of the answer. I found
the same information on google. For the record, Greg,
you beat Google in reponse and action time. ESRI, as
usual, has an incredibly good help file entry on this
very topic. If Photoshop is the greatest piece of
software ever written, some I actually believe, ESRI
has the best computer help files of any program I have
ever encountered.
You need to make the native HTML file into a .txt file
with very rigid formatting. Save the original file as
a text file, process it in cns, the software from
USGS, open it up in a text editor, delete the obvious
lines of header text, make sure everything is indented
where it obviously should be, then import it as a text
file into ArcCatalog. CNS basically takes the text
file with no indentations and places the indentations
in the right place, so Arccatalog can work with it.
It works and it saves mucho time. Keep your meta data
up to date, or you will be unhappy in 12 months.
Derek
