Stonebroom.ASPointer©makes it easy to access and update XML,
HTML, XHTML, ASP and similarly-structured files directly on the server, without having to load them into a browser or other client application.
It is designed for use either with Microsoft® Active Server Pages© scripts, or as a stand-alone COM-compliant
ActiveX® DLL component. (Note that evaluation versions of the component can only be used within ASP). ASPointer offers a range
of file access options, based broadly on the proposed W3C XPointer language.
