Converting fm files to xml

[Lynne A. Price]

Daniel,

1) Is another attribute written instead of the href attribute?

2) Are you sure your r/w rules are being read? It could be a search path 
issue. Does your application definition (probably in structapps.fm) specify 
a complete pathname for the rules file. (One simple way to verify that the 
correct file is being read is to add a new rule with a syntax error and 
confirm that FM reports the syntax error.)
