- Right. NetScape supports (poorly, anyway) HTML. Those aren't HTML;
- they're from a vendors proprietary language that kinda looks like HTML.

- I think you've got out of date information. The Mosaic home site is
- <URL: http://www.omnipresence.com/amosaic/ >; the FTP site is
- ftp.omnipresence.com. Both of them have versions more recent than 1.2.
- None of those support the attributes and tags (they are not commands;
- thinking they are is an easy way to start writting bogus HTML) you
- mention.

- No, you don't need an HTTP server of any kind - unless you want to
- server HTTP pages.

- If your pages get screwed up under those conditions, then the pages
- are screwed up. HTML text is HTML text is HTML text - moving it
- from one machine to another shouldn't make any difference - provided
- you deal with line termination differences between the machines.
