It seems to work OK on my RiscPC but NS has an 84MB DA which it doesn't release when the window is closed. This page does show up one of the most irritating features of NS - it it's formatting a page with a lot of graphics, and especially if you scroll down, the whole page dances up and down for many seconds. It didn't used to do this and it's really not acceptable. Why can't it work out how much space it needs for images if it's told, or do the whole lot in one go if it isn't? -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Confidentiality statement: If this isn't for you, delete it.
