[Karen Lewellen]

Hi again Geoff,
We do have xsltproc here at shellworld.
Equally there is a daisyTransform.xsl
file with my bookshare materials in each book.
when I run the line below though I am getting a shared object missing 
error..but I may not be running it correctly.
to spare the list an exchange off topic, may i write you privately to 
troubleshoot?
Thanks much,
Karen
