Stuart mentioned that his question re: FIG stemmed from something he read in a book on HTML. <Rant> When are publishers going to stop putting out books on HTML 3.0?!? It's amazing, 3.0 went belly-up a *year* ago, and yet I keep seeing *new* books on it! I saw one from The Waite Group last night, for crying out loud! So people who don't know its a corpse go and buy these bound volumes of wastepaper... </Rant> Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Guess my nerves are still a bit on edge from Hurricane Fran. :-P Jonathan jonathan@ecn.purdue.edu _/ _/ _/ _/ And it would of worked QUESTION AUTHORITY -- _/ _/ _/_/ _/ if it hadn't been for And the authorities _/ _/ _/ _/_/ those meddling kids and will question you. _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ their stupid dog
