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:

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/xml.tar.gz

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.

| 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
