Hush!! If folks get an inexpensive EDI translator and learn Perl to do their mapping, then that puts the kibosh on at least one of many good reasons to move to XML. They'll find out that they don't have to put up with the agony of "point-'n'-click" mapping, Mercator "type" trees, Gumtran macros or bad or non-existent technical support to get useful things done.

It was easy to learn and seems to handle all my client's mapping needs. I use Trading Partner PC from Emanio, as the translator, a low priced translator with plenty of installs. (www.emanio.com). Oh yes, the price of Perl is free, it is part of the open source movement. (www.perl.org). EDI syntex is controled by Trading Partner PC, and Perl writes just about any file that exists.
