Ooh, I like it, 100K seems like decent amount to be able to post, and it looks
like sending multiple blocks is not much more work. I have been ducking away
from doing some of this, but the time is rapidly approaching. Thanks for the
answers and the examples and the "oh it is really no trouble at all" breezy
attitude. I'm sure there will be a little swearing along the way, but I feel
much more confident about making it work.
From the example in your other post:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<rev_string>.uoyknahT</rev_string>
</root>
