But it's not a case that you can't view the pages with CAB 1.5, you just
can't view all of the frames *at once*. CAN supports frames in much the
same way Lynx does - you can still get to every single page.

If he'd incorporated support for some Netscape plug-ins like Shockwave,
or used Java or JavaScript on a page for Atari users, I could understand
you annoyance. The pages are no different in content with CAB, and only
a minor difference in layout due to the lack of frames.

As for PC sites not catering for "lesser" browsers like CAB - that's bad
web design on their part, purely and simply. You can design an
"enhanced" site which is still 100% compatible with even text-only
browsers like Lynx if you try hard enough - which most PC and Mac web
designers don't, sadly ;(

ATB, Frank.
