Locians, Jeff and I have been searching (mostly in vain) for a GPL XML DBMS. We have found the following link, which we may resort to instead: http://www.informatik.fh-wiesbaden.de/~turau/DB2XML/ It is a java program, but it it worth checking for to see if the concept of transforming relational data into XML is feasable for Loci. Comments welcome! -Gary and Jeff
