A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: XML DTD for ACAP - ACAP data interchange format
	Author(s)	: A. Melnikov
	Filename	: draft-melnikov-acap-xml-00.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 15-Jun-00
	
This document describes a XML DTD suitable for describing application
configuration information or modifications made to configuration information. The file format is typically used to import and export configuration information between ACAP servers, or to describe a set of changes which are to be applied to a ACAP database or a set of ACAP databases.
There are a number of situations where a common interchange format is
desirable.  For example, one might wish to export a copy of the
contents of a ACAP server to a file, move that file to a
different machine, and import the contents into a second ACAP server.
In addition, well-defined interchange format facilitates the development of data import or migration tools.
This document describes the interchange format that has the same objective for ACAP as [LDIF] has for LDAP.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
