Ralph, I love to do that. In the second half of Feb, I hope to find some
time to do what you asked.

I agree that zthes over SRW would make life easier (in our setup we start
with XML and we end up with XML, but in the middle there are unnecessary
GRS-1 records which prevents our applet to fetch the XML thesaurus records
directly).
