Firstly, thanks for taking the time to answer my mails :D

Basically this is the intention:

1.Download http://some.webserver.org/somefile.xml.bz2
2.Download http://some.other-webserver.org/somefile.xml.bz2
3.Read the XML from it, analyze each one & store required data in database.
4.Combine analysis of these two data sets and produce a third bzip2ed XML.

I am developing on embeded lua (using luaexpat,
compiled libs, sqlite3, luasockets)
