severity 337584 important thanks If the DTD is unavailable and the document actually uses the DTD, not retrieving the remote DTD will result in different output than if the remote DTD is present.
What you probably should be doing is providing the DTD that you want to use to create these XML files so there is no external reference. Otherwise your packages could build differently depending on whether or not the DTD is present, which is definetly not what you want. [If the DTD isn't necessary, then it probably shouldn't be specified either.] Don Armstrong -- If you have the slightest bit of intellectual integrity you cannot support the government. -- anonymous http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
