Oh my gosh! Michael Kay...I'm honored that you
responded (seriously). I'm digesting every morsel of
your message and have been studying your book for
days. There is just so-o-o-o-o-o much information on
the subject. We finally came to the conclusion that
we need an XSLT processor and have been trying to
implement a command line call using Xalan. We'll keep
on trying. Thanks, again, so much for responding.
Have a great day,
Patricia
