It is.  I gave up.  And instead I wrote a Perl module to read .sf files,
such as Shoebox happily exports:
   http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/Text-Shoebox-1.02/
And I use that to read files in, manipulate the data, and then I use
another file to spit it out as RTF or HTML.

I wrote an article about it:
   http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/03/25/dictionaries.html

And I have lived happily ever after.
