oh my lord, I dont know what they are up to here. this does not look
like the simple default Saxon jar at all.

you definitely need a Fedora sort of person!

I am sorry this is all proving so hard for you. It really should be easier!
But doing stuff on a Linux command-line is, I fear, a dying art.
That's why the setup in OxGarage, and in oXygen, are really

Many thanks for your your replies and your help, Sebastian.

Only a side question on the saxon script that invokes saxon. I guess
there is no problem with that script when I invoke the Ant task (since I
invoke the saxon.jar file itself).

This is partly what I asked for, I guess .

I'm not a command-line expert, but I'm afraid that cryptic (to me)
warning or error messages are some of the reasons because I tend to
