Using Python's DOM is (as far as I can see) the easiest and robust way to accomplish the task. It is working but slow if it processes a file with more than 8000 package records. But this was never my goal, I only wanted to convert files with about 20 package records. If a user requests stream-like behaviour, because it fails in its current implementation, I'll probably change it. We'll see. -Frank -- Nunc vino pellite curas! -- Horaz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
