This e-mail is subject to the disclaimer set out below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Hussein
Thanks for the info. A .xml extension would help dear 'ole Windoze find an editor! ;-) (BTW, I'm really a Mac user currently shackled to Windoze for employer reasons! ;-) I'm delighted that XML Editor is one of the few cross platform XML editors - I live in hope!)

".xxe" files are scanned by XXE during its startup. Using a specific extension (".xxe") makes this configuration discovery step faster because XXE does not need to open the file in order to see that it actually contains a configuration. ".incl" files are ancilliary configuration files that XXE can safely skip during its configuration discovery step. Therefore using a ".xxe" extension for XXE configuration files is mandatory. --- PS: Why use a ".xml" extension? Such generic extension does not convey any useful information about the contents of a file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail message is confidential and for use by the addressee only.
