Thanks Eric, I am not in need of it at this time. I had similar
experience about a year ago when I was using XMLSpy (win32) heavily, I
was in search of something adequate that is open source. I didn't find
anything as good as that. Seems to be one of those areas that there
are only two good products, xmlspy and oxygen.
