Andrea,

         I thank you for your offer to send the source code again. I 
appreciate your generosity. However, I do not need the source code -- I 
need to know its derivation and the like. Is your code derived from that 
written by another person, such as Antonio Reyes? Or did you derive it from 
the source code for the news module for OpenCMS 4.6? Do you have any tips 
on how to compile, install, and use your source code? For example, does it 
require the use of XML templates, or does it permit the use of JSP 
templates? Part of your code (in the file named "NewsTemplate.java") seems 
to inherit from the OpenCMS class named "CmsXmlTemplate", which implies 
that it uses XML templates. Second, how does your code implement and use 
channels?

         Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain
