RE: [Refdb-users] php, cgi, jsp and refdb?

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi Alan,

thanks for this impressive shipment (it was actually so impressive
that the list software kept it for approval due to its excessive size
;-). I didn't have the time to test anything yet, but I'd encourage
anyone with a little spare time to test drive this stuff.

I'll also attach my current version of a RISX DTD for discussion. It
will probably require a few changes as I've received helpful material
about encoding document types in RIS just two days ago. In any case,
ideas and suggestions are welcome.

regards,
Markus
