I just uploaded www_and_frame-0.2.tar.Z to info.cern.ch in
pub/incoming.

Changes:

* HTML files are now treated as text entities and thus don't
require the <!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM> "framing tags."

* Quotes and other Frame characters are converted to something
sane

* Named anchors convert nicely.

In general, it's possible to grab the source of a web document,
save it in an .html file, fire up framemaker, edit it, save it
back out, and browse it with www again. (be careful with relative
anchors...)

It's also possible to develop a whole local web of Frame documents
and then save them as HTML and put them on a server (you have to
stick to the HTML tags... can't use just any old frame files). It makes
a nice compliment to the MidasWWW browser.

Have fun!

Dan
