Thanks for replying Lennart. After posting the original message I found out that you were no longer actively maintaining PSGML, and had put it on Sourceforge. (I joined the user and developer mailing lists.) I hope someone steps up to work on it - like I said I would myself but my Lisp just isn't good enough. It's worrying acually - I work with XML constantly, and PSGML is just lovely (although maintaining my catalog can be a bit hairy); but increasingly hybrid documents relying on namespaces, and therefore schemas for validation, are becoming the norm, and if PSGML doesn't get those features then I'll no longer be able to use it. And then what WILL I use? (That's rhetorical - not addressed to you personally!) Given that so many UNIX/Linux people seem to use Emacs/PSGML as their default XML editing environment I imagine that there will be a great many of us wondering what on Earth to do if PSGML doesn't keep up. This is now worrying me ... Best, Darren -- ====================================================================== D. D.
