Hello, I'm going to combine a couple of responses in one email to save space....
VML is similar in concept to SVG.. Basically a vector-based XML format.... I wonder if 5.2.3 supports it.. I'll have to check that out... As far as W*ndows apps go, the only thing I run is stuff which can work inside of Wine... I have a FreeBSD system running that and a lot of windows stuff works, but I've alwasy had trouble getting IE to work... But, I've never really sat down and tried hard to make it work either... Maybe I'll just go to the library or something and print out the pages... In case you are wondering what Wine is - basically it emulates the Windows system calls and converts them into UNIX system calls... All the native x86 code gets executed by the CPU (which is why it doesn't work on OS-X), but it's very fast... But, not 100% compatible.. But, it also doesn't require any licensing/installation of a Microsoft operating system... I had that Virtual PC back in my OS-9 days, but I've only got a G3/400mhz and it's slow enough with OS-X alone... - Greg > >Subject: Re: Mac Internet Explorer >From: "Ben Kennedy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 19:25:56 -0400 > >On 16 6 2003 at 6:52 pm -0400, Greg Saylor wrote: > >>One of my clients has an existing web site in VML - which as far as I >>can tell only works in Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher... > >What is VML? > >>Of course the >>Mac version is 5.2 (or something like that).. > >5.2.3, released today. > >>If IE for Mac is an end-of-life product (can anyone categorically say >>that it IS?), > >MS Product Manager Jessica Sommer says it is: <http://news.com.com/2100- >1045_3-1017126.html> > >>then that means so is VML for a Mac - which is a standard >>Microsoft is trying very hard to push... > >If VML is something standard and open, I wouldn't bet against support >springing up in one of the many other open source clients.
