That was excellent information !

Adding file:// got me much further through the process, though gave a cryptic
error.
Adding file:/// got the process completed.

Still trying to work out how to get the output where I want it though.  It's
tending to get written in a folder relative to the xsl file, rather than one
relative to the source xml.


Appreciatively,
Richard.
