Re: <HR> in <PRE>

Hello there. I'm the person who started all this.

Here is a sample of an offending file. It was created by a program called GEDPAGE. I have tried several similar programs and nearly all produce illegal HTML of some kind or else have some other difficulty. GEDPAGE is the best of a bad lot. I have emailed the author but received no reply.

My web site (and many others) has several hundred of these small files on it.
