Hmm, interesting.  Are there any XML writers, to convert flat-ASCII to
flat-XML?

I am not sure I understand your question completely. There certainly are
XML-writers available. One is included in the new Java extension Project X
available from Sun at http://java.sun.com/xml/. You probably have to register,
but that is free and pretty simple.
I assume that you ask the question because you have a number of flat ASCII
files and want to know whether they can be converted in a simple way.
The answer to this is that you have to write a parser for that flat ASCII
format use Project X to build XML-document objects and simply write those
documents to a file. BTW that flat ASCII format parser should be no big deal if
you know a little about programming. Otherwise, you can ask me for help.

I don't suppose I'd have a problem myself.  My code is a little messy, but
it (usually) gets the job done.  I was thinking of other people, who may
have recorded inventories in spreadsheets, or HTML, or whatever document
format they found handy.
