Why? Why can't a product like our report-writer take - XML describing content - XSL specifying layout and produce, for example, a report preview window on a Mac? After all, if you regard a browser, it's doing something very similar. I don't see the need for the intermediate translation to another set of XML data, but there may be something I've missed in the XSL processing standard. I agree that a clean design mandates some separate structured collections of objects between XML and output, but I don't see how they are necessarily either XML or anything closely related. For one thing, they are 'highly decorated' by comparison with the original XML. Andy Dent BSc MACS AACM, Software Designer, A.D.
