[Eddie Shipman <Eddie@acadsoft.com>]

ADO database?

Hi,

My use of IE5 MSXML has shown it to be very fast and generally the best
XML
parser available around if you're using IE on the client or server and
want
to load the entire doc into mem etc.

The ActiveDOM parser (http://www.vivid-creations.com/dom/index.htm) from
Vivid is essentially a simpler version with the same interfaces, but it
doesn't need IE to be installed.  ( XSL + validation is coming later in
the
year)

Cheers,

Rich.
