(...) Ok -- Steve Bliss ICQ'ed me and suggested trying L3Lab's Register File Types option to settle the MIME-types. Win2K doesn't allow you to manually edit the MIME-types through the interface, and I forget how to do it in the registry. So, I try (...)

(...) Thanks! (...) I'm actually thinking that the page layout stuff might belong in different files with a syntax that is for page layout. Once you've generated all the images and you are to the point of rearranging them on pages, you don't want to (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
