Aplogies [Re: Problem w/ Defining Entities in Stylesheets]

[JonTom Kittredge <jo...@itasoftware.com>]

My problem seems to have been caused by using the wrong version of
Xalan with the right version of Xerces. (I had upgraded to Xalan
2.5.D1 -- rather than 2.4.D1, as I said in my mail -- and got confused
and was using 2.4 Xalan with Xerces 2.3.0). It all seems to be fine
now. 

Sorry, JonTom
