Re: [Idrs-dev] RML is now XML!!!!!!!

[Tim U. <urb...@us...>]

Hello Marc,

I'm ready to continue working on the servlet re-vamp when you are.  I 
haven't looked at it in a while.  I was wondering if you could give me 
some direction as to what to work on next, then we can go from there. 
 Thanks.

Tim
