I doubt it - neither Netscape or MSIE support PNG as an inbuilt format,
and I don't know if either plan to do so. There are PNG modules for
programs like GEMView, so I'd imagine it would be fairly easy for Alex
and Dieter to incorporate PNG support into CAB if it was ever needed.
Honestly though, I din't think the format is that likely to suddenly
take over, everyone seems to be sticking with GIF regardless.

ATB, Frank.
