Beautifully, if you don't have NVDI 3 or greater then in computer 
terms you haven't lived. Oasis no longer takes weeks to display your 
news and you get a funky mac like font that you won't want to be 
without. If you set up CAB as in the docs to show the correct fonts 
then although it's a bit slower, it looks far better and pretty much 
how it was intended by the web page authour.

NVDI works purely on a visual level, you might save a few split 
seconds as CAB doesn't take so long drwaing your pages but in real 
terms you gain little in performance terms.

[NVDI plug ends] now go and buy Diamond Edge 2 (that applies to 
everyone!).
