C++ and XML...

[Kit Plummer]

Thanks Rob.  We are working on the DTD now.  For simple prototyping I
have been using Perl and and module called XML::Simple which simply
pulls the XML from a declared file and puts into a hash.  

BTW: Although not GPLd, IBM's ViaVoice runs really well on Linux and
they have the SDK available for download.  We have done some preliminary
testing with that.
