Roger,

thanks for the tutorial. I just had a quick pass thru the Intro and
have a couple of comments :-

In your README you state :-

'If you don't want to purchase the license then open my batch file,
run-calabash.bat, and delete this line:

   if not exist C:\SAXON-license\saxon-license.lic goto no-saxon-lic'

Actually I found that you also needed to amend this line to remove the
-a  (-a is the command line switch to turn on 'schema-aware') :-

java -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dcom.xmlcalabash.phonehome=false
com.xmlcalabash.drivers.Main -a %1

becomes :-

java -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dcom.xmlcalabash.phonehome=false
com.xmlcalabash.drivers.Main %1

and, although it hasn't caused a problem thus far, I guess it might
make sense to 'rem' or remove these lines :-

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%rootdir%\lib\saxon\saxon9sa.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;C:\SAXON-license\


- Some of the Powerpoint slides have text that is on top of other text.

- For the example 'example01_identity' using identityEmpty.xpl and for
example02_store with storeNoResults.xpl, I received the following
error. I'm not sure if thats what you expected but it wasn't mentioned
in the slides so I assume not ?? :-

Error  : Pipeline failed: err:XD0007: null  If sequence is not
specified on p:output,
or has the value false, then it is a dynamic error if the step does
not produce exactly one document on the declared port.


Will have a go at the second part soon and feed back any comments to you.

Regards

Fraser.
