I should note that I tried to clean up the files a bit to make them more readable before uploading, and I realized the "clean" version of reqallxml.awk in the attachment has two silly bugs - "/* nothing for now */ ;" on line 368 should be "; # nothing for now" (C-style comments don't work in awk). And the system call string on line 425 can't be split across lines as it is (again, I was thinking in C). -brad
