Hi Dan, If you're going to build an RSS feed for a project, you should only concern yourself with ensuring that the XML can pass the http://www.feedvalidator.org/ test, and not worry about what RSS readers are available - because there are hundreds of them for Mac, Linux and Windows.
As for how to build RSS XML, checkout the RSS 2.0 specs at http://www.feedvalidator.org/docs/ and use your favorite programming tool to output the XML. Hope that helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott Cadillac, Xmlx Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] (403) 254-5002 http://www.xmlx.net/ XML-Extranet P.O.
