I'll do what I can to make the HTML readable by browsers other than
Navigator - unfortunately most of the files, if they have comments in
them have the <!-- comment --!> type in them.  I will try to change it
to one which is acceptable to other browsers but, as we give everyone a
copy of Navigator I make sure that it works with that browser first.

I fully understand that you want to use different browsers to access the
site and different platforms but I do have to sleep - I am at work til 9
or 10 PM most nights already!

How does your browser like comments?

(I'll try to fix it soon.)
