Christian Turcanu is a former COM 3360 student who
needs two additional visitors generated from
a cd in DemeterJ.

Is one of you interested in an XML project as
described below? Or should Christain implement this
himself?

Please drop me a note if you want to do this project.
It is not hard to do.

See
 http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DemeterJava/use/latest-demjava/generate/gendisplayvis.beh
for the generation code for the DisplayVisitor. It is only about two pages.
