Thank you for your quick response. The ar command failed on an AIX 5.3 machine as well as the AIX 5.1 machine. My company does not have an AIX 5.2 machine. I did get some useful information from the command 'dump -t libxerces-c28.0.a|grep "DOM_"|pg' which told me that deprecated classes like DOM_Node are in the .a file. So I and a few of my colleagues are planning to download xerces again and compare the results with the original download.
