I think it's found as 'revXML.bundle' for MacOS and 'revXML.dll' for
Windows in the 'components' folder inside the revolution folder...
Is that what you mean?

Thanks for the information.
Unfortunately the XML library with 'revXML.dll' does not seem to work in the Metacard IDE.
I am updating the search routines of my "Topsearch" stack to include XML-files. This works in the Rev IDE, but not in Metacard, even if I set up an identical directory structure, i.e. putting 'revXML.dll' into folder "components/global environment" like in Rev.
Even the engine (version 2.6.2A3) is the same in both environments, only the names "mc.exe" and "revolution.exe" differ.
I also tried to transfer the needed MC stacks into the Rev directory (only 3 extra stacks are needed besides the "mc.exe" engine to put up the slim MC IDE), but in spite of that the XML library was not accessible.
The usual "transcripted" libraries or handlers defined elsewhere *can* be used in the MC IDE as well (provided the necessary links to other libraries or handlers in the Rev IDE are established in an analogous way in Metacard - which may be complicated in some cases, given the very complex structure of the Rev IDE).
Am I missing something or is this an instance of lacking compatability between Revolution and Metacard?
I am not familiar with DLLs, but could it be that 'revXML.dll' checks for the engine name (or the other way round) and only cooperates with "Revolution.exe" and not with the same engine named "mc.exe"? If this would be the case the compatability problem could be easily fixed inside the engine - or the DLL? - with an improved "name-calling" routine.
