No, that's where this thread started - that we need a mechanism other than 
using XSLT variables, to construct the path to another XSLT file, in a 
platform-specific way.

'uname -s'?  I don't know what the user wanted to key off of, but there are 
any number of techniques one can use to determine the root of the

Ha ha - so true!!  Maybe they didn't worry so much about job security, after 
Gödel's proof!  ^_^  R. W. Hamming wrote some great stuff, including 
_Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers_, and a good intro book on 
Digital Filters.
