Hi,
    OK this might the most stupid question asked on this list but what does
xmlwf do, as I can't find any mention let alone docs/man page for it?

James,
  xmlwf is a well-formedness checker.  I've filed a feature request
for documentation for xmlwf:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=487840&group_id=10127&atid=110127

  I don't know when I'll get to it; I've been more swamped lately than
I'd expected.

Message-ID: <yam8735.655.1769554816@smtp.ntlworld.com>

Hi,
    I've finished my port of expat to the AmigaOS as a shared library,
unlike a static compile, which is very straight forward, creating an Amiga
shared libraries requires a number of additional files and all the API
functions defintions modifying which means that there is no nice way
(dozens of #ifdef AMIGA etc) of merging the changes with the current
sources.

Does anyone think its worth putting it in the CVS tree ( I know ZERO about
CVS) or would be willing to do it? 

I've uploaded the binaries and modified sources to the Amiga's primary
resource the Aminet http://us.aminet.net

  I'd be interested in seeing the kings of changes you needed to
make.

  I just looked around there, and wasn't able to find it.  Where
should I be looking?  I'd like to take a look at the sources to see
what it would take to merge the changes, and what kind of changes were
needed.  If there's a way to merge changes in, that would be best, and
would make it easier to maintain the Amiga version.

It takes a couple of days for submissions to appear but then sources should
be found under the tree in dev/src. Or else I can send them to you
directly.

Ask and ye shall recieve.

Here's a first pass.  It's a bit raw, but it should be adequate to
close the following bug reports:

I'll happily integrate any suggestions any of you can come up with.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] xmlwf test harness
Message-ID: <41931.65.5.145.141.1007336122.squirrel@www.rinspin.com>

In writing the xmlwf man page, I found it useful to set up a small
functional test harness to check a few things.  I've made it available
at:

    http://www.trestle.com/linux/test-xmlwf.tar.gz


What is a functional test?  Well, unit tests typically ensure the
different parts of a system all work as expected.  Functional tests
ignore the parts and make sure the system as a whole works properly.
Large projects often make extensive use of both.

This harness could be expanded without too much trouble to provide a
comprehensive test suite for xmlwf and Expat.  All it needs is a
bunch of test files.  It should compliment very nicely Fred's unit
tests.

If anyone has .xml files that demonstrate either buggy expat behavior,
or complex but correct behavior, I'd be happy to integrate them.

    - Scott

first file imports everything from pyexpat, which makes senses, but in the
second file pyexpat.py, the imports are pulling everything from expat.py,
which is nothing.......  The first choo-baca thing and the second
choo-baca thing is located in pyexpat.py after the class were the function
call of ParserCreate from expat. Reminder that expat has nothing in it, so
how does this function exsists or do I have a bad copy of expat.py.

  Don't bother adding docs for the -v option I just added to xmlwf;
I've already modified a copy of xmlwf.sgml to include that.
  The docbook-to-man tools don't seem to work on my Mandrake box (I'm
using version 2.0.0 sources + Debian patch, modified to point to
components in my installation), but I suspect I simply don't have
everything I need installed &/or configured yet.  I'd like to get that
working before checking it in.  (I'd also like to convert it to XML,
since this is documentation for an XML tool.)
  Thanks for working on this!

Message-ID: <3C0F1F93.4040208@csiro.au>

Hi ho, if somebody could help me with this problem, I'd really be 
appreciative :-)

Basically, what I wan't to do is parse a document which includes CDATA 
marked sections. The thing is that I want the CDATA marked sections to 
be able to contain arbitrary 8-bit bytes (i.e. binary data). I do 
realise that this makes the document a non-XML document, but I do not 
want to have to use any encoding system on it. I need to read these 
bytes raw, (i.e. not cook them into UTF-8 or anything), so they can be 
stored in an array of unsigned chars or shorts or something.

Can somebody please give me some hints on how I can do this?

I am prepared to do some hacking on the source to get this effect.

Thankyou!

This should be a FAQ.  Do yourself a favor and base64 encode it.  It's 
really not hard, it's not slow, it preserves the XML, it makes the 
representation only 30% larger, and you don't have to go making ugly hacks 
in the code that nobody else is interested in.  If your using XML then USE 
XML.  Don't bastardize it.

Is there a way to compile expat on Mac OS X 10.1?  I have tried 
expat v. 1.95.0, .1, and .2 with plenty of errors in the

with using 'autoconf' before ./configure with the OS X Beta, but 
this has not worked for me on 10.1.  Any suggestions would be

  That's what you need to do.  I'm hoping to add a "reset" function
for the parser object in the next release (which I had hoped to get
done by now, but haven't), but for earlier versions, you'll need to
replace the parser object for subsequent documents.
