Many hosts run expat, and when you run a professionnal projet, you can choose the modules you're using. Since Config_File.class.php does not look complex, it might be easy to write an alternative config file parser that could load the config vars from an XML file. A SQL datasource could be handy too :) I'm waiting for a comment from Andrei or Monte regarding the caching. Bertrand
