We kept the core SAX interfaces very small so that they would be suitable for environments with strict space constraints, but they still take up a few KB. Building a SAX wrapper on top might make sense if every kilobyte counts. All the best, David -- David Megginson david@m... http://www.megginson.com/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
