I know this isn't about FSUIPC, but this still seems like the best place to post it. If not, I apologize.
It looks like MakeRunways doesn't properly escape ampersands when it loads the file name (and possibly other content) into runways.xml. For example:
<File>ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_CRM05_SCENERY\scenery\ADE_FTX_CRM_16W_Little_Goose_Lock_&_Dam.BGL</File>
This causes an error when trying to parse this with a strict XML parser:
Message: The reference to entity "_Dam.BGL" must end with the ';' delimiter. com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLStreamReaderImpl.next (XMLStreamReaderImpl.java:596)
Would it be possible to get MakeRunways to properly escape XML characters (eg, "&")?
