But if it's just to get it to work right now ... adding 'call' to your DOS batch file is faster :) Also, it might be a little early to expect support from fop in these tools. I don't think any implementations of xproc or xmlsh have fop support built in yet (Calabash seems to have support for a commercial cousin: FEP, though?); there'd be some not insignificant plumbing to do in order to get the performance benefit. Ant might be easier to deal with, not sure if there is an existing task for fop? -Mike Sokolov
