Ive had a look at dbXML and it looks good... however, it uses JDK1.3 and a
requirement is we must use the Microsoft VM that ships with IE. (we cannot
add anything that alters the clients setup)

The XML files are simply in a folder, and not in any kind of database.  So I
guess Im now asking:

-Is it possible to search a standard folder on a clients hard disk of around
10,000 XML files (10k each), using the Microsoft VM and MSXML2.5 (possibly
3) in a reasonable amount of time?

The XML is generated from SGML... if that is sufficiently well(?)

If you do have any ideas, please be give me a good start :)

cheers
