I would test it out the wazzoo. I am but a lowly VB programmer, but I have used the MSXML interfaces alot, so testing a lookalike would be fairly trivial.
With that said, it is possible that our company may pick up Xerces, and that _may_ bring some more resources to bear.

One of the points of COM is the clean separation of interface and implementation. If we can support the MS interfaces, but drop in a better implementation, then we'll all have more choices when working on Win32. A COM wrapper for Xalan/C would be nice as well,hypothetically speaking. I guess it depends on whether there are enough interested MS/COM type programmers here to sustain such an effort. -Rob Mike Pogue <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] e.org> cc: (bcc: Robert Weir/CAM/Lotus) Subject: Re: Xerces-C Multithreading 03/01/00 02:32 PM Please respond to xerces-dev So, are you suggesting that if you had a COM wrapper for Xerces-C, that looked just like the MS COM API's, you might use it? Speaking hypothetically, of course. If such a thing existed, would you be willing to help test it and maintain it?
