    None that I'm aware of. You might have to either find or write a server-side parser to convert the feed from XML format to plain text if that's what you want. Or do you want the RSS feed in XML format to begin with?

    That would be the pure RSS file format then, with all the RSS markup that goes with it, correct?

    Magpie sucks like a rotten egg, especially in the bandwidth and resources departments.

    Actually I do. It's a script that was written by a friend of mine in New Hampshire. It takes the feed once an hour, caches it, then serves a copy of the cached feed whenever the script is called (such as during a page refresh or initial download).

    The refresh rate, number of feeds to display and other variables can be controlled through one of the three files that come with the script.
