Sure. I've contacted Neil already.

For PLT 103 "old" port is
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ssax/ssax-plt-49.tgz

It is/was actively used, including a couple of commercial projects.

For PLT 200 alphas I was using
http://pair.com/lisovsky/download/ssax/common-plt2.scm
and latest util.scm (version 1.2) from:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ssax/SSAX/lib/util.scm
instead of common.scm and util.scm included in ssax-plt-49.tgz

I'm not using SSAX with 200alpha in production (yet!), but in a number 
of student projects it proves stable. 

I have to admit that in my "port" primary target was unified codebase for 
a half-dozen of different Schemes.  

Neil's port is optimized for PLT, and elimination of some cond-expand's
will have a positive impact on SSAX performance. It's collection,
it uses modules etc.  PLT-only people (I mean v200) have to switch to
it ASAP, I believe.

Best regards, 
         Kirill.
