I'm writing some LotusScript code to parse an XML file using the SAXParser.  Up until now it has worked fine on both Windows and Mac.

I have a new XML file I want to parse and the second line of the file is:

<!DOCTYPE dives SYSTEM "http://www.mac-dive.com/macdive_logbook.dtd">

If I leave the line in the file and run it through the SAXParser it kills the Notes client on the Mac.  If I run the code on Windows I get an error message "SAX parser operation failed".

I tried 

        saxParser.InputValidationOption = 0

but it makes no difference.

If I comment out the line:
<!—- DOCTYPE dives SYSTEM "http://www.mac-dive.com/macdive_logbook.dtd" —->

Notes on Mac doesn't crash but I get the same "SAX parser operation failed" message.

Only if I delete the line from the XML file does it work.

I'm not responsible for the XML files and I don't want to have to manually edit them (or even write code to edit them).  Is there a way to tell the parser to ignore the line?

Thanks
