This was one of the really bad decisions in this project. Some project leader should have stopped this. FlightGear uses a particular format for XML files: <PropertyList>. It has tools for loading them into a tree, and for writing them from there, it has methods to deal with the nodes in C++ and Nasal. Our life would be a lot easier if all parts worked together, and not every little subsystem had to invent its own methods. It takes a lot of extra code to make some sense out of these alien files. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
