Re: Reading CData from NSXMLNode

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi John,

I converted your code example in to a base test case and committed that. 
On my machine this works perfectly. Now, what may be the difference? The 
big difference is that I am using GNUstep from SVN and you are most 
likely using an older release. Since the last official release of base 
the code for the XML classes has been completely reworked (and now 
requires libxml2), mostly by the people at Testplant with a lot of clean 
up by yours truly. There hasn't been a GNUstep base release since that, 
but there is an unofficial package for GNustep core on Windows which may 
or may not include that code.
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows/gnustep-core-0.31.0-setup.exe

Best luck with that,
Fred
