I Netscape on Linux, many pages have text where "'" appear as "?".  I'm
not sure if it happens on Netscape for other platforms.  I'm not sure if
it happens with IE.  All the pages have a similar look, and I know at
least some of them were created with Front Page.  "'" appear okay on the
MS Front Page web site though.  Some were also served from IIS and are
asp pages.  I was thinking character encoding, but isn't an "'" part of
the very standard ASCII charset?  How could they screw that up?

As an example of this phenomenon, look at www.biz.colostate.edu.
