Alas, the published official standards are not always the real world
standards. The REAL standard for webpages is "Whatever works with
Netscape Navigator and Internet Eplorer", despite a HTML standard.
Regardless of the merits of the arguments on both sides, PowerBasic
has made it 100% clear that they undertstand the request, and they
have issued a 100% clear answer; No. Not for free. Pay them the right
price and they will do it, but otherwise, forget it.
Given this clear answer, may I suggest that the posted requests stop?
