aha!  We tripped over this with some of our stuff a couple of days ago.
If the .ds* files are checked in & out of source control on Unix, the 
CR/LF line endings get replaced with just LF. VC6 can't handle Unix 
line endings in project and workspace files.

The long-term fix is to mark the project files as "binary" in the 
source control system, so that it won't mess with the line endings.

Thanks Irving,

You were right! Thanks. No CR's.

My fix? I just copied over the xerces-all directory from the 
1_1_0_d15 release to the 1_1_0 one and it worked fine. 
(Well it compiled anyway, I'll check it out shortly.)

Thanks again,
Jim
