Re: replacing key() with pipe.

I'm not sure where all this discussion is going, but
I do know the answer to one of your questions, Paul:

| instant SAXON was 
| compiled with some tool which works nice with  MS  VM. 
| What is the tool?

Same tool that James Clark uses to compile xt.exe
It's called 'jexegen' and it's part of the Microsoft SDK for Java 4.0
http://www.microsoft.com/java/download/dl_sdk40.htm

The by-product is not really "compiled", it just packs up all the .class files
and "glues" them as a resource with a little loader-stub at
the front. Any speed difference using a 'jexegen'-d executable
should be identical to what you gen when  you simply run
with the Microsoft jview.exe java VM instead of another one.

Makes it easier for non-Java-savvy folks to run the code on Windows.
