Hi Mike, Yes you're right, I'm not subscribed to that list. Your alt thing looks rather good. I've managed to temporarily hook up alt_filter.exe to my development copy of the access gateway, on ssb22.joh.cam.ac.uk. It gets the web page, runs alt_filter through it and processes the results. So you can browse with it. At the moment the user doesn't get any choice but to go through the filter. I don't think this way of doing it is a good permanent idea though because the amount of process spawning that's involved does slow it down. Also, calling a Win32 executable is not portable to Unix platforms (most web servers run Unix). May I ask what programming language it is written in? There is a slight bug in that consistently replacing VALUE with ALT doesn't always work too well in forms, as in <input type="text" name="hpe" size="2" alt="10"> where the VALUE attribute is lost.
