For example, when you download aelfred-1.0beta4.zip (from
http://www.microstar.com/XML/), you should be able to just unzip it
and point it at a URL, with no other setup. With the JDK, you change
to the directory where you unzipped Ūlfred and type
java EventDemo <URL>
With Microsoft's Java VM, you can type
jview EventDemo <URL>
(Of course, you can run the command from any directory once Ūlfred is
on your classpath).
Here are two URLs that you can use to start playing:
http://www.microstar.com/XML/donne.xml
http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/dmeggins/texts/darkness/darkness.xml
Type them in, and watch the events roll down your screen -- no manual
downloading required.
I'd love to see the URLs for more online XML documents that we can all
try out (the XML specification at www.w3.org does not currently work,
because of character-encoding errors in the XML document). I might
put up Beowulf in UTF-8, just to keep the other parser writers busy...
All the best,
David
