ABOUT THIS
WEB-PAGE -- Caveat lector !
This
web-page was constructed using MS-Word 2000 and its version of html. The
results have been previewed by way of MS Internet Explorer version 5.5.
Unfortunately, things that look fine when viewed with Internet Explorer
sometimes look rather peculiar when viewed with Netscape. For example, there
can be unexpected and unpredictable changes in the size, shape, style of type,
or some combination of these. Moreover, sometimes different versions of
Internet Explorer do not present the same web‑page in the same way; for
example, hyphens in one version can mutate into empty rectangles in
another. Alas!
