Re: XML* vs. eXpat

Hi Rory -

As a matter of fact, I'm a happy RPG-XML user right now. I'm using it
for web services stuff - I hadn't thought about it for just straight
RPG-XML stuff...though that's the name...duh! :) I don't think I'm
licensed for that partition with them - I'll have to talk to them
about that.

So you find the XML* stuff to be a pain?
