I'm guessing that no-replies=not-possible. Darn.

/ Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
| I'm experimenting with read-entity and sgml-parse and I have a
| small problem. If I attempt either of these functions on a file
| that doesn't exist, I get an error.  Is it possible to test for
| the existance of the file first?  The document I'd like to read
| might not exist (which for this application would be fine).

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
