innovation Partners and CEI announce IRIS XML EDITOR beta 1

The first release (beta 1) of IRIS XML EDITOR is now available for
download. This first beta allow 
the user to create XML projects based on a DTD generated (saved) with
our IRIS XML DTD GENERATOR 
software. Futures version will permit to open DTDs that was not saved
with IRIS XML DTD GENERATOR. 
So, if you have provide additionnal informations (like Hint,
Description, Toolbar, and icon) in IRIS 
XML DTD GENERATOR, you'll get in IRIS XML EDITOR dynamics toolbar that
contains buttons which can 
insert easily elements you describe in your DTD. You'll get dynamic
element wizzards too, if you 
provide some attributes for elements. Obviously, IRIS XML EDITOR is a
full XML oriented editor 
with many improved editing functionnalities like :

- Toggle between Upper and lower case with shift + F3
- Glossaries
- Full text search and replace
- Intelligent inserting of element
- multi pages editing windows to edit large collections of files
- etc.

You can download IRIS XML EDITOR from the following URL.

We currently working on improving support of other DTDs (those not saved
with IRIS XML DTD GENERATOR, 
please see the readme.txt file in the distribution for more informations
on how to use others 
DTDs). We are also working on an internal XSL engine for visualisation
purpose. All this work will 
appear in the next beta version (beta 2 or beta 3).


Well known in FRANCE for his HTML EDITOR ODYSSEE ( see
http://www.mondial-telecom.com/odyssee ), 
Innovation Partners has start to think about XML many months ago. This
thought tell us to develop 
3 XML software. The first one, IRIS XML DTD GENERATOR, is a tool for
building XML DTDs. The second 
is IRIS XML EDITOR for editing XML files. And the third one is a XSL
stylesheet EDITOR for 
presenting and processing XML files. These 3 softwares can naturally
work together, building a complete 
sofware suite for XML editing. For limitations, supported
functionnalities, and bugs of beta 
versions, please see the readme file of the downloaded software. Now
lets have a look to the
