Stephen:

  That's funny. When I opened your page on Netscape .96 (windows) the
wrapped type looked just fine. Text was not flush up to the right edge of
your photo. Rather, there was a left margin wider than the U in
"University." 

  I admire these and some other Netscape attributes. I'm too busy putting
news on the Web page, though (OK this is my excuse anyway) to stay current
on questions such as which of these qualities are Netscape eccentricities
and which are becoming HTML standard.  Maybe I'll be chided for saying
this on this list. But for the time being, we aren't ready to do much that
works well with Netscape but falls flat with NCSA Mosaic.  What do you
think?  Has NCSA become the Web's Beta VCR has-been, and has Netscape's
VHS become the standard?
