Interestingly MicroSoft has recently paid Opera $12.75M as compensation for deliberately sending bad html to Opera browsers in MSN so people would get a bad impression of Opera. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16119 When MSN started 'borking' Opera in MSN, Opera responded by releasing the Opera 'BorkBork' edition that would automatically translate MSN pages into 'BorkBork'. An example of which can be seen here http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/util_get_image/2/0,1311,sz=1&i=20484,00.gif It is nice to see a company with a sense of humour. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
