- We suggest these programs for editing your letters: I would probably recommend you use whatever free software folks you have available for editing XML. I would think just saying "your letters. Most standard web development software " would will be good enough . oXygen is a really nice software product but I think it's overkill for what most libraries would have to do here. Oxygen for working on customizing letters in Alma.
