[xsd-users] error processing multiple schemas at once

[Eric Broadbent]

Hi Boris - thanks very much for your reply.
After I send off my query I realized that running it separately was probably the thing I needed to do and had to divert to something else before I could try that.
Makes sense to have only one driver generated, so supplying more than one "root-element" option is not meaningful I guess.

I'll try this and report back if it doesn't work as expected.
Many thanks.
-Eric B.
