I just printed and bound a copy of the FAQ, and started looking through it as print-out and/or with a browser. By the time I hit "if you are in a hurry" (I was) I hit a very buggy bit. The link to "Table of Contents" is actually to "Top" -- way above the table of contents. Additionally, the HTML source uses enormously wide lines which is OK if it 100% works and users never need to view source, but.... The links to "Program Index" and "Topic Index" are funny. They don't work in Netscape4; I don't think it likes spaces in names. In Internet Exploder they work but Back doesn't work with local names, it goes "back" to the top of the file; I believe this is a known bug in Exploder. This means you can't go to these names and back in any common browser. Just to make the maintainers' life fun :-> _ ' ' _ --( '.".' ) __ :--H--: _\_'./"\.' You'll never get me up in one of those things. _/_.-' / . . ( ( ( ( ( @) (" ) ) ) ) . ...." " " " "...... " " " " ...http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk/
