Hello,

I have an XML document that contains many ampersands (as &amp;) in many 
"name" attributes.

When I call the getName() method on my Zeus-generated classes the 
string "People associated with entertainment &amp; sports", for 
instance, from the original XML document is returned as "People 
associated with entertainment&sports".  Notice the collapsed space 
around the ampersand. I need to do string comparisons in my code, and 
this, of course, is screwing things up.

I've searched through the mailing lists to see if this is a known bug, 
or if there is a work around, but haven't found any answers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
