Actually one can still tell them apart because in that case Opera
claims to be both IE and Opera. It's a funny story actually, because
due to historic reasons all IE versions pretend to be Netscape!

Now then Robert,
May I suggest that you also put a link to from where a download could be
performed? So not only do you suggest that the user gets a [much better]
tandards compliant browser, but also from where they can get it.
Consider it (almost) done :o)
Cheers,
Norman.

Greetings,
as per Robert's request for a link to the 'standards compliant browsers' you
can get for free to replace the IE mess (Hi Malcolm !) - this has been done.
There is now a link to Opera and Firefox downloads.

Essentially you hold the right button down while drawing small figures
