usher in new XML technology, and Vervet Logic has created a solid, useful
XML tool."

pricing expected from consumer products, XML Pro is a perfect tool for XML
developers, content providers, and authors. XML Pro provides the quick,
functional editing solution missing from many high-end packages, and fits
well into any XML toolkit.
