Hi,

you guyz were both right !
I downloaded the latest version from Michael's site and the XSLT 2.0
solution works like charm.
WOW ! Amazingly, it's 15 times faster than the one i found myself using deep
XPATH and nested for-each. My solution takes about 15 seconds, david's first
solution using keys for XSLT 1.0 takes about 5-6 seconds and the XSLT 2.0
one takes 1 second.

what a great improvment !
thanks to both of you and thanks mike for the fantastic processor ! (big
fan... use it from almost the begining...)
