Thanks to everyone for your responses. Very enlightening ... and MUCH more
responsive than the same question I'd asked in the microsoft
newsgroup.<sigh> I'm sure they're swell people as well ... but ... well,
no I won't go there. I'll just THANK you all for responding. :)
Just today I was reading about FrameMaker SGML and noticed (perhaps this is
old info?) that it cannot import XML, but can export it. Anyone know if
this is still the case?
Kinda the reverse of what Ventura does ... it can import it (for the purpose
of getting it to print) but cannot export it (which, if just fine by me).
Mind you, I would *like* it to export it ... "round-trip" would be nice.
Ok, ok ... that would be my cake AND eating it too, eh?!
I'm very much Windows based - but am still interested in what everyone is
doing. Java - well, that's cross-platform (or maybe better put,
'platform-independant') as well as the other Apaphe apps. Hmm ... all very
interesting. Brings me back a bit when I was working at a 'dot-com' and did
1/2 my work on Linux systems. Also did a lot of Java stuff at Espial. But
alas - on my own, I crawled back into my hole ... 'Windows'. :) But, I do
own a Mac ... and have an extra computer on hand should I ever dare to
load-up Linux again (and pretend I know my way around it when my wife peeks
over my shoulder!).
Thanks again for all your input. Keep it coming (for any/all others
interested in participating here). I hope to learn more and more about this
XML world. I admit it ... I've been 'bit' by the bug. W-a-y cool stuff.
Thanks
Yours,
Allan

Hi Everyone
I'm not looking to start a war here between Linux, Unix, Windows or Mac
users ... nor to do the same amongst users of major (or minor!) brand
name
publishing applications ... but what I would like to know is:
- What software application/platform do YOU use to publish your XML to
print?
I'm a OpenOffice.org fan, I regularly use XSLT to convert my XML into the
native XML format of OpenOffice.org
After the transformation, I can print it or use the PDF export function of
the program.
OS: Windows 2000/NT
