RE: Redirect:write mangles file names on windows

["Brown, Charles" <ch...@sensis.com>]

Adolfo,

   I keep getting [java]
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
org.apache.xml.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Could not find variable with
the name of dir.  Would I need a namespace URI tacked onto it?  Actually, I
tried that, but got same result.

--CB
