But OTOH, using SGML or XML will probably take more disk-space than would be strictly necessary. Colon-separated data files are not really standardized as such, but are widespread enough (passwd, group, maybe others) to be a reasonable alternative, where the power of SGML is really not needed. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, alt-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.a2points.com/homepage/3475232 | Check <http://www.debian.org/>
