  Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

  Using this batch file:
  set SAXON_HOME=C:\saxon
  set SAXON_JAR=%SAXON_HOME%\saxon9.jar
  java -jar c:\saxon\saxon9.jar read1.xsl -it:runit

  I get this error.
  P:\British Library>set SAXON_HOME=C:\saxon
  P:\British Library>set SAXON_JAR=C:\saxon\saxon9.jar
  P:\British Library>java -jar c:\saxon\saxon9.jar read1.xsl -it:runit
  Stylesheet file -it:runit does not exist

  if you&rsquo;re going to use it often enough to justify the cost of
  database loading. If you just want to use it once, e.g. to extract a
  subset of the data, then collection() should do the job - either in
  XQuery or XSLT.
