I'll migrate the code so that it works with latest from head. Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't implying a "code dump", the situation is that I am the person putting pressure on the company to release the code and I need to get it into the public domain before I move onto my next internal project. Having said that I am keen to get involved in supporting xml-fop and am happy to do this in my own time assisting in the support of the AFP renderer.
There are various tools that can view AFP/MODCA data streams so a mainframe is not required to support it!! There is a good viewer available at http://www.barrsystems.com/product/afpviewer/default.asp Regards, Pete. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bowditch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 August 2004 09:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AFP Renderer Jeremias Maerki wrote: > Hehe, and then there was the one by UBS which I asked them to make OSS > and they declined even after killing the project. > > I don't think there's a big legal problem around AFP, it's probably more > the technology itself that has the attribute "may cost a bit more" on it. > :-) While it would be great to have an AFP renderer we also have to see > how to support it.

Yet. ;) I wouldnt go as far as saying I understand AFP, but I have worked on a AFP Parser before, and I feel I understand it as well as PDF, i.e. if I dont know what a command does I just look it up in the appropriate reference manual.
