validation during translation

Hi 

I have an XML document coming out of a system which needs to be 
translated to text document. I have written XSL to do this, but when i apply

it to the xml it is failing because it is trying to validate against a dtd
and cannot find it.

( I am using XML spy and processor 
java -cp C:\cm\lib\xalan.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN %1  -XSL %3
-OUT %2

I was wondering if there is an option to turn off such validation using XSL.

thanks for help
