You should specify the protocol:

file:
http:

etc.

                Subject:        DOCTYPE specification...

                I have the following DOCTYPE specification:

                <!DOCTYPE film-guide SYSTEM "film-guide.dtd">

                According to my understanding, this is a valid DOCTYPE
specification, yet
                I'm failing when parsing the URL. The code throws a
                XML4CExcepts::URL_MalformedURL exception. When I traced
through the code I
                found that the method URL::findType was looking for a colon
in the first 8
                characters. If it doesn't find one then it throws the
exception.

                What's up? Why can't I specify a local file as in the above
DOCTYPE?

                Thanks,
                Mike-
