I installed the latest versions of xml4j (2.0.3) and Lotusxsl
(0.16.3) and tried to make them work.

However, first I had to change the version in xml4j.jar for 
com/ibm/xml/parser/Version.java (it was still 1.1 and lotusxsl
refused to work with that version) to 2.0.3.

Then the program begins, and shows the version:

>>>>>>> LotusXSL Version 0.16.3, XML4J Version 2.0.3 <<<<<<<

However, when I use it on the following small files

simple.xml, which contains:

<simple>XML is simple!</simple>

and empty.xsl, which contains:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
</xsl:stylesheet>

Then I get the following when I type

java com.lotus.xsl.xml4j.ProcessXSL -in simple.xml -xsl empty.xsl -out a.txt

James Clark's xt has no problems with these files and outputs

XML is simple!

as I would expect. What am I doing wrong? mg
