Re: [topicmaps-comment] xtm.xml in IE

I have noted myself such strange behaviours of IE5, seeming to 
correspond with installation of other XML software in the system, 
namely XMetal. Remember installing *anything* under Windows 
changes some system files, and e.g. those used by IE5 to parse 
XML files ...

I sent an XTM file to a colleague, that IE5 opens perfectly on my 
laptop, and that his IE5 refused to open, saying the style sheet is 
absent ... It seems that XMetal generates its own style sheets that 
seem to replace somehow the default (hidden) style sheet of IE5. 
And there  are certainly some other weird hidden interferences.

Another example: since I installed XMetal, MS XMLNotepad 
refuses to *save* perfectly well-formed and valid files. I got this 
mysterious message when I try to save:

"unable to save: failure writing new data to object tree
Detailed COM Interface error : 80004005"

Say what, Bill ?
