Re: read-entity/sgml-parse and file access?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
