Frontier has four different ways to access XML structures: 1. A native verbset, the xml verbs. http://docserver.userland.com/xml/ 2. An implementation of expat, supporting its own api. http://www.techsoln.com/frontier/blox/index.html 3. A DOM implementation that works with either of the above. http://www.tallent.com/frontier/DOM/default.html 4. XML-RPC, which can plug into Java, Python and Perl applications, with more support on the way. http://www.xmlrpc.com/ Dave At 11:58 AM 1/30/99 -0500, you wrote: >Paul Prescod wrote: > >> >> >> "W.
