Paul, Thanks for the words of encouragement. I've done lots of porting in my time, so it's just a matter of patience and understanding. With OS X on Unix (BSD), many things are easier. For example, sockets work just fine on OS X. The most recent versions of OS X have support for the DL loading APIs. But I need support back much further, so I will investigate the older APIs, and xerces already works on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. OS 9 is a whole 'nother ball of wax. All the networking will have to be redone. But that can wait until later. I'm likely the only one left in the world that would still need this. :-) ...Duane
