Two points: why would this be taking the pee? Not everyone who reads
Atari web pages actually uses an Atari browser. I log which browser a
visitor uses when they visit my Atari pages, and over 60% use a
non-Atari browser, usually Netscape on PC/Mac/Unix machines from work,
school or Uni.

Secondly, the Netscape "enhancements" you're talking about are Frames.
The forthcoming CAB 2 supports Frames, so you will be able to use that
page - but honestly, not using Frames doesn't mean you're missing
anything :) Jonathan duplicated the page as a non-framed version as
well.

ATB, Frank.
