I tried typing this URL straight into my broweser and I got the
standard
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are
looking for cannot

because the address

Please try the
following:
If you typed the
page address in the
Address bar, check
that it is entered
correctly.
Open the
ppm.activestate.com
home page and then
look for links to
the information you
want.
Click Search to

I don't know if this is correct behavior for putting this link straight

Any other ideas??
