We have released the DOM library and the XSLT/XPath processors. We are now working on releasing an ODMG object database system with extensions for direct XML support, providing a DOM and XQL interface, and associated XSLT stylesheets. It will be open-source when we release it, which should be mid next month, although the first release probably won't have all the XML features. Please let us know whether you'll be ineterested in early releases when it comes out because we probably won't be announcing it to this list right off the bat (unless we get all the XSLT integration in at first, which is unlikely). Menawhile, if you really need something _now_ and it doesn't have to be open-source, eXcelon and Oracle might be worth a glance. -- Uche Ogbuji FourThought LLC, IT Consultants uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (970)481-0805 Software engineering, project management, Intranets and Extranets http://FourThought.com http://OpenTechnology.org XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
