A week ago Steve Leach <steve@watchfield.com> posted a message
with an attachment to pop-forum, but the majordomo software here
stopped it here because of a length limit.
I am forwarding his message, below, having extracted his
attachmen and temporarily made it available at:

Steve's message referred to
GOSPL The Global Open Source Poplog Library
a collection of source code that has been submitted by various
members of the Poplog community over the past decade.
This was announced in December. It can be accessed via
http://www.poplog.org
and complements the packages available at the FreePoplog site.

| Subject: XML tools
|
| Hi folks,
|
| I just reworked a recent project to extract some of the most useful
| tools - these I'll be putting into the GOSPL library. However, the
| XML stuff is quite useful on its own and I thought I would just
| put it on this list and see what interest it generates. I'm sure
| there are lots of people out there who have done something similar.
|
| I have deliberately not done the full XML task. This is just an
| initial short and sweet piece of work that is really very useful
| already. I've used it to do some quite neat stuff. If people
| want to pick it up and expand on it, I'll take any changes and
| integrate them before putting it into GOSPL.
|
| The main limitations that people should be aware of is that DTDs
| are not used at all (they are simply ignored, mainly because they
| are both tricky and misconceived) and character entities are not
| properly handled either on input or output. So this should very
| much be regarded as a prototype!
|
| There are two files "xml" and "xml.p" which are the REF file and
| the LIB file respectively. The formatting of the REF file is quite
| weak, I am afraid. I'll try to post a revised version later.
I apologise for the delay in forwarding this.
Aaron
