Well, I'm for few days out of fast and cheap connection (just mobile
phone with GPRS) and I found just 3 different and probably old copys of
Xalan on my computer. However no one of them is able to process common
chunk stylesheet.

These version are:
Xalan-C 1.3 - it doesn't support chunking
Xalan-J 1.? - it fails with strange error message
Xalan-J 2.2.0-D13 - fails with arrayoutofindexbound exception

Is there any version of Xalan-J which is know to work with current
stylesheets? I can't download other version for now, and precise version
will be great help for me, so I can adjust htmlhelp.xsl to work also
with Xalan.
