We have a graphical product that can map one DTD to another.  Its 
got a built-in testing environment (to verify that your transformation 
will work as expected) and generates either XSLT, JSP or Java 
classes.  Our mapper is 100% Java and has been tested on 
Windows, Linux, Solaris and AIX.  You can take advantage of built-
in functions (the BizTalk Mapper calls these "functoids").  The 
functions are extensible via JavaBeans (we provide several code 
samples illustrating how to add your own functions).

We are wrapping up testing the Schema version of the Mapper and 
expect to make it available next month.
