I finally managed to 'install' it, and seems to work fine with the examples
provided, and those by Mr Calvert :

By 'parser' I meant something that would be an 'interface'. That I would
reference, and it would go and do the hard work. I guess that's what
OpenXML is supposed to do, as well as syntax checking.
Is XML a little over hyped? I can't see it taking over the world. All I
intend to use it for is program configuration files, without using windows'
registry. (Go Kylix)
Thanks.
