If the XML file is on read-only media, how did you copy the XSL file to
the same directory?

The href "/new.xsl" refers to the root directory of the same drive that
the XML file is on. Not the root directory of the C: drive (since the
XML file, on read-only media, is obviously not on the C: drive). Not the
same directory as the XML file, if the XML file isn't in the root directory.

See my second post, where I say:
"In fact, that is what I did to test the
stylesheet in the same directory as the XML file: I copied one single
file to the writable media and put the stylesheet there as well. "

No, I tried this and it doesn't work. To make sure that no clever
cookie comes back asking "How could you put the stylesheet in the root
of the non-writable media?", this is what I did: I copied one of the
XML files in C: together with the stylesheet and tried to open the
XML. It did not work.
