Software for editing XML

I need a piece of software to allow me to create XML from a DTD. I don’t want to have to see the actually XML at all though. I would like something that generates a GUI based on the DTD and allows me to edit from there. Is there anything like this out there?

Alternatives to Altaris/Symantec SVS

I use an old copy of Altaris SVS(link to lifehacker – Symantec gutted the old Altaris website) for testing applications – it lets me capture the changes one executable makes, or changes to a whole system into a bundle, and remove the whole bundle once I’m done. However Symantec bought over Altaris and apparently killed off the product, or merged it into some…

Rolling desktop recorder?

I want a piece of Windows software that will constantly record what I’m doing on my desktop, discarding footage that’s over [30] seconds old. Its recording would be a rolling one.

The idea is that I can somehow hit a button and see “what just happened”.

I don’t want to have to babysit it. That is, I don’t want a piece of software designed for screencasting (which I’m…
