Can there be multiple catalog files? Or Can > There be Only One? I just tried it with xsltproc from libxml 2.4.30 and libxslt 1.0.23, and it seems to support multiple catalogs now. It used to be true that only one catalog file was supported. Apparently this has been fixed in xsltproc, so you can use multiple catalog files. I don't know what version it started working in. There is no mention in the ChangeLog that I can see. You must separate catalog files with spaces in the environment variable. Neither colon nor semicolon worked as a separator for me. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
