(...) Cool -- thanks! :-, (...) Hmmm, what browsers in common use support 4.0? Specifically, do we want to rely on CSS? Do we require everyone to use the latest from Netscape and Microsoft? I suggest we go with something more widespread, such as 3.2 (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Thanks, Jacob. I've posted these in a semi-dedicated thread (1), and added notes on which ones are optional, and which ones may repeat. (...) Darn that Noah Webster. :-P Cheers, - jsproat 1. "Working sketch of FAQ item data format" (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

It's hardly my favorite general-purpose programming language, but other than grep and sort and cat and uniq, it's by far my favorite command-line pipe. I think perl has a command line (...)
