All credit to Altova for their excellent tools - bummer that they aren't FOSS/Linux!<br /> <br /> Please someone tell me I've not looked hard enough!<br /> <br /> James http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=514#514 kvonh Wed Apr 13, 2005 4:20 pm http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=514#514
