I consider not posting because this is a little arcane, but I'd hate for someone to have to do this for themselves when it's not necessary. If you're not REAL interested in the nitty-gritty of formats and specifications, just trash this and move on. :) If you're not familiar with HyTime, here's a brief, *highly* innacurate description: HTML is a subset of XML (I warned you about innacuracy). XML is a subset of SGML. SGML is a subset of HyTime. It's not just a file format, it goes WAY beyond that-- scheduling and event timing, for example. It is an ISO/IEC standard for cross-platform file compatibility. You can get much better information at the HyTime User's Group http://www.hytime.org . There are links to read the specification online and also to download a local copy in several formats. The online version works fine, but the document is >500 pages; a little less than 2M. If you're using a long file name OS, you can probably use the downloaded local copy. If you're not, you won't be able to navigate properly if at all. I have a vanilla DOS viewable HTML copy of the standard. I won't send it due to size, but ask me off list and I'll send you a set of tools that automates the process of getting a copy and making it navigable. It's two BAT files, a SCR file, and a short doc, <6K self-extracting compressed file. For what it's worth, I release it to the public domain. VDE was a godsend. boB -- Arachne V1.60;b1, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/ To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
