Yep.

First, complain to Verity for giving you a defective product, especially
for how much they charge for it.
A possible work around is to use the SSMARKUP resource. Try the following:
<SSMarkup>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML//EN">
</SSMarkup>
Note, the various *PGBEGIN resources include a <!DOCTYPE> declaration,
but the browsers will probably ignore it. If it is a problem, you can
edit the *PGBEGIN resources to not contain the <!DOCTYPE> declaration.
