Yes, the topic is me swearing.

Bad news. One of my hard drives died, and it happened to be the one that XPlode3 was stored on.

The last backup I made of my whole source tree was back when I had a half-baked XPlode2.... so I get to do it ALLLLLL again.

Hopefully I will have something usable within a week, but not promises.

*mightily p***ed off*

that sucks, sorry 2 hear that

but take your time

Just a note... XPlode will now be using a more conformant XML parser... and it TELLS you what you get wrong.

Example:

<test>This is a long **** test of something & something.</test>

Error:

Ill-formed entity reference in text section (Rule 68).

From XML Spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-references

[68]    EntityRef    ::=    '&' Name ';' [WFC: Entity Declared]

    [VC: Entity Declared]

    [WFC: Parsed Entity]

    [WFC: No Recursion]

I assume that nobody gets it.... but you can figure out what it means from the spec.

i.e. The error was the & should be & as per normal.

Yes it's been a long day, so this post may not be understandable...

man, I'm really sorry. I know what it's like. Had my harddrive fail on me with all my Winamp MSI stuff on it...

sure hope this doesn't hinder my little project....

i´m sorry, too. hard drives crashs often on coding projects...

RAID1 is your friend. Otherwise, a program like SecondCopy can be a life saver. I personally have my MSFN stuff saved to two different hard drives on my system.
