Mornin' Colonel Mark Sanders

I think it's just part of the great Microsoft scam.  I had no trouble at
all viewing your page with my Netscape browser.  In the past I've used Word
to write a few web pages, and though MS would like us all to put on our
pages "best viewed with IE4" (or whatever), it's just corporate
imperialism.  I now use either Lotus WordPro, Netscape Page Composer, or
just a text editor, to compose web pages.  Word is particularly bad at
putting a lot of junk code into HTML files (like setting the font
characteristics for every line rather than by the paragraph! .... makes for
unnecessarily large HTML files), but other browsers can still make some
sense of it.

.... oh, and I enjoyed your web site too - keep up the good work (but don't
be intimidated by Microsoft).

Cheers, Lawrie
