Well, no offense to Liam (I probably use the WDG validator as much as the
W3C when I'm not at home), but 'A Real Validator' has two flaws for my
purposes:
1) It costs $$
2) My ISP allows, among other things, use of SSI and PHP; dropping files
onto A Real Validator can't tell me if they're valid, if they've not
yet been processed by the server.
Since I already have an Apache server with Perl 5.6, and PHP 4.01, at home
for staging my ISP files, I'm happy with any Perl or PHP solutions (anyone
like to take a crack at a PHP validator? ;) )
My request for a binary was not for the entire validator, but rather for a
WIN32 binary of lq-nsgmls to replace James Clark's nsgmls.exe for Windows,
since that appears to be the route the W3C Validator will be taking. I've
not coded one line of C or C++ in my life, and I don't have a compiler
readily available either -- hence the request.
Since Cygwin was mentioned, can you recommend a minimum configuration
(tools, compiler, etc.) I'd need to get a binary out of Liam's code?
