There are many ways to parse files in Xerces, so it depends what you
need. Are you using DOM or SAX? If you're using DOM, are you using the
new DOM Level 3 bindings, e.g. DOMBuilder, or the old DOM Bindings,
e.g. XercesDOMParser?

If you look in the t/ directory there are a number of simple tests
that use a MemBufInputSource which is what you need to parse a
string.

I don't know why this is happening - it looks like a problem with the
windows error message transcoder - sorry, but I don't have a windows
machine to test it on.

There is a combined user-list dev-list for XML-Xerces - check the To:
line in this email for the adress. It is in the README, but it's not
very clear.

PS. How is DictyBase doing? I haven't had any contact with them since
the GO group had it's meeting there three years ago...
