Good notes, I'll put them on the page. Right now I'm trying to recover from a major crash on my dual G5, which is my bindist server, so I'll be letting these ideas soak in a little before putting the page up. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
