I can send you the code for the two external method I use, they only =
need a
webserver (that could be zope too) that serve an XML page (I can =
provide the
XML the methods needs) and the bunch of dtml methods I use to show the =
XML.
Anyway I will try to understand what's happening with ParsedXML and my =
code.
