Thanks Elemér, 

Sounds fine ... but, leads to one more
question. Titan is intended for Linux only, then, right? (I just like being
explicit, making sure I understand :) 

Thanks,

Hi, 
 
Titan consists of several binaries, some
of them requiring the presence of libxml2  when being compiled, for
instance the xsd to ttcn converter (xsd2ttcn);
Others, like the TTCN-3 compiler itself,
 will require libxml2 only if the TTCN-3 code indicates that  XML
processing is required, e.g. XML codec functions are to be generated .
 
So if libxml2 is not present, Titan will
be partially disabled, but  XML–unrelated parts will still work.
 
Libxml2 is part of the major Linux distributions
 directly or through repositories. Typically it’s present by default.

 
Hope this answers your questions

1) How often is "XML processing"
required? What if the user can not do that "XML processing".
Does that "block" use of Titan? Or does it provide a "nice
to have" function like validating an XML is well formed, before runtime?
 
2) Why not have it IP reviewed, and distribute
it, and install it, if not already installed?
