Using lib/xml.l for parsing html/sgml is not reliable unless the html/xhtml you are trying to parse is well formed xml (which is quite rare on the web usualy). > (pipe (xml Html) (till NIL T)) > > This works fine when I try the "raw" functionality without using the > http server.

I am curious too. I guess it has something to do with the way picolisp handles files during pipe or call? Cheers, Tomas -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
