What version of Mosaic are you using? The version I have certainly doesn't
display a border when the width is specified as 0. In fact it works exactly
as expected.

Blue lines are frames round anchors, not borders, by default, aren't they.
The question of borders should definitely be distinct from the question of
how you mark something as a link (though of course if you frame your links,
you can't tell whether they're bordered or not). The latter has
traditionally been user-configurable in browsers.
   However once again, my copy of Mosaic seems to do what you want w.r.t.
the images which have the attribute BORDER set to 0, and those which haven't
in the page you refer to, so once again you should specify which version of
Mosaic you are using, (and if necessary upgrade).
