[DAS] LDAS/DasClient problems

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi,

I've just looked into Thomas's report about the stylesheet command.  The LDAS 
server has a bug finding the default stylesheet if the source-specific 
stylesheet isn't found.  The next version will fix this, but to work around 
the problem right now, just make a copy of the default stylesheet, 
"default.style" and name it after your data source, e.g. "test.style"
