Thanks, that did it! Now that I've uninstalled 2.2 and installed 2.3 (on a different computer), it displays pages that were originally created in Amaya well. The only problems I've noticed so far have been a tendency to skip an entry or two on the history list when using the back and forward buttons, a recurrence of a "cannot make a connection to the server" message and consequent failure to load a few long pages on one particular server (possibly anomalous), poor rendering of the position of table elements on pages that I'm quite sure aren't valid HTML anyway, and a dislike of long urls like this one - but only when they occur in a link, not when typed into the location bar (sorry about the wrap): <html> <body> <a href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/morphindex?&lookup=%29abde%2Flukt a&display=Latin+transliteration&lang=Greek&corpus=2.0&formentry=1&embed=2">A bdelukta</a> <br> </body> </html> http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/morphindex?&lookup=%29abde%2Flukta&disp lay=Latin+transliteration&lang=Greek&corpus=2.0&formentry=1&embed=2 If you do pull up that particular page or the Boston.com homepage (obvious URL), you'll see what I mean. Is this a standardization issue: are these lookup urls longer than a prescribed maximum in one of the W3C standards? Finally, it does crash a little bit, but the crashes don't seem to be reproducible, so they're probably not bug-related. Hope some of this is helpful. Again, this is Win98 with (in this case) a Pentium 2. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jose.kahan@w3.org> To: "Patrick T.

I figured it was semi-official and that I'd missed the announcement on the list. You've (plural) been alluding to it all week, so . . . PTR > -Jose
