Thanks !!!
I'd be willing to help on this also. I cannot really endorse XERCES
in our product (as I really want to do)
unless we can have a clean build with each new release without
resorting to unsupported patches of the sort below ....
Anything I can do to help get this in 'officially' ?
I have a Solaris 7 (2.7) with CC5.0 (SunWorkshop)
and can provide an rlogin if necessary, and/or run builds and email results.
