I now found the place where the conversion from '>' to '>'
should occur, and created a patch (which is attached to this
mail). I didn't manage to compile Amaya on my Linux machine,
so I cannot check if this fix is O.K., but it looks
streight-forward.
In reality this 'bug' is in libwww, so I'm not sure whether
I am reporting it to the right place or not. If not where
else should I report this?
Is it possible that this patch will be evaluated for
inclusion in the next release of Amaya ? Or, even better,
in the next release of libwww.
Thanks,
