Adrian: But I'd have to download the entire web archive (plus adds and
other crap) every time I updated the Log (I can't tell what's new
remember). That's simply not viable.
>So many it does not load correctly.
Adrian: Again I ask. Where are the errors? I can't fix it unless you
tell me what's not working. The only errors I got were missing </BR>
tags and that's allowed and any browser that can't deal with that should
be shot.
Adrian: Let me put it this way: if I were to send you an email saying
"Anthony, I can't get interpreter to work. It just gives heaps of
errors. Please fix it." Would you be able to fix it? I doubt it. Same
applies here. Tell me what files are broken, why they are broken, what's
not displaying properly. How do you know they're not displaying
properly? and anything else you think might be useful. Or even better,
fix them yourself and send me a copy so I can fix the FCLog program.

Adrian: Unfortunately the HTML standard keeps changing making life rather
difficult. And many of the changes make newer version incompatible with
older versions. (The <BR> or <BR></BR> thing for example). You and Uli
have mentioned a number of times that there are few if any ANSI C++
compilers that are completely compliant, the same problem exists with web
browsers. All I can do is write simple, generic HTML and fix problems
when I'm told about them. I've already tested the page on Netscape,
Internet Explorer and iCab and it works fine.
