+ <a>
+
+ <p>XML4C from IBM is based on the &XercesCName; code. The only difference
+ between &XercesCName; and XML4C is that XML4C is bundled with IBM's ICU classes
+ for Unicode support, which allows it to support a wider range of character set
+ encodings.</p>

-
- <p>Check the bug list at

- The problem may already be known, or even fixed.
- </p>
-
- <p>Otherwise, send the bugs to either the xerces-c-dev
- mailing list (preferred) or the IBM Alphaworks news group, as
- desribed above. The more information that you can provide,
- the better the chance of understanding what happened, or
- what the problem really is. Please include the version of Xerces-c or XML4C,
- what kind of machine, including Operating System and OS Verion Number,
- whether you built the xerces library yourself or used the binary distribution,
- the XML document (or excerpt) that fails, the C++ application code that failed,
- and what happened.

- <a>
- <p>Mail it to the xerces-c-dev mailing list at Apache (You must be
- a subscriber to post to this list, but if you're considering changing
- the code you really want to be.) There are no set
- rules about how or what must be included - if you've fixed a problem
- or enhanced the code in some way, we really would like to get the
- changes back and will take them in any reasonable form.</p>
-
- <p>Generally a diff of the changed files against the current sources
- from CVS is good, along with some kind of description of what the

- <q>How do I port Xerces-C to a new platform?</q>
- <a>
- <p>(from Dean Roddey) The primary work of a port involved creating:</p>
-
- <ol>
- <li>A new compiler header for the compiler</li>
- <li>A new platform utilities file that implements the little bit of system
- access we need, and an associated header.</li>
- <li>Updating XercesDefs.hpp and AutoSense.hpp to get your new headers
- included when compiled under your OS and compiler.</li>
- </ol>
-
- <p>Other concerns are:</p>
-
- <ol>
- <li>Does ICU compile on your platform? If not, then you'll need to do a
- transcoder implementation that uses your local transcoding services. I
- assume that the Iconv transcoder would work for you, though perhaps with
- some modifications.</li>
-
- <li>What message loader will you use. For starting off, you can use the 'in
- memory' one which is very simple and easy. Then, once you get going, you'll
- want to possibly adapt the message catalog message loader or write one of
- your own that uses local services of some sort.</li>
