(smile) given the random locations alta vista seems to spew at you even
when you have spent quite a bit of time trimming its search tree with
qualifiers, its debatable. I finally located a nice page listing all the
RFCs related to internet protocols. Never got a reference to demon once.

As for Demon's www site, I find it very hard to find anything from the
front page. I guess it depends on the methods different individuals use
to perform searches. Whats intuitive for one user is not for another (I
find Mac's very un-intuitive - try getting the CD out of a CD rom drive
on a Mac when the Mac thinks there isn't one in there).

I will give this URL a look as well. Thank you.

Thanks, I probably won't look at the extensions. We're using Demon
because its convenient. We intend the product to be usable with any ISP.

Thank you (and thanks to the other kind souls who replied).
For the benefit of those who wondered:- Its being done in Java, its for
a handheld device to aid blind people, and we're developing on Windows
95 until we get the hardware for the handheld bit.
