In the HTML 3.2 tutorial I use -- to be found at
http://www.hut.fi/~jkorpela/ ...somewhere -- the author Jukka Korpela does
mention the "example" tag <XMP>: "This presentation does not discuss
the XMP, LISTING, and PLAINTEXT elements. They are now deprecated
(obsolete), and PRE should be used instead." The  still works in
the majority of browsers, but in the long run it will definitely vanish.

?? In all MSIE3 versions I saw these tags did the job! (MSIE3 and MSIE3.02)
Are you sure you don't have MSIE's Javascript animation problem in mind.?.

This way your HTML script works fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (version 4.71.1712.6) too. I surely hope Ilmari is still around; he/she is just the right person to enlighten us. Still, a great idea, Martin :) I like Fixedsys
    

                       _
                    (\/ )
                     \  |
                      ) |
                     /  \
                   ,-    \
                  /6 6    \
                &/(_x_ ),_/%)
