Hi Steve,
I decided to try out the code from Eron and I can tell you that there is
a bug in 4.0. that had sonething to do with unrecognised codes in the
header (I think). I had to use the CF feeds to get any sort of result.
Thanks to Eron for the original code, kind of takes some of the fear
factor out of WDDX when it comes together as easily as this.
