XEPWin has all the same functionality as XEP Engine, because it is XEP Engine. Only the Java Interfaces and GUI have been hidden and replaced by Windows-centric .NET interfaces. XEPWin has the same core technical requirements and delivers the same capabilities as XEP Engine. XEPWin requires a Java Virtual Machine for the core engine as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 for the service Layer.
XEPWin comes with three applications for ease of use. A command-line tool much like the Java version can be invoked from a command prompt or easily tied to right-mouse click actions in a Windows menus. XEPWin also comes with a .NET version of the XEP Assistant, a GUI for selecting XML and XSL files for conversion.
New with XEPWin is ActiXEP, a Windows-based hot folder application. ActiXEP is a GUI and service-based application. It can be used to create hot folders that accept files via drag-and-drop or programmically copied for rendering. You can create as many folders as you like, tie different XSL transformations to particular folders or even make generic folders that accept XSL FO (XSLFO) directly or XML files with XSL style sheet links.
