At 512x384, I needed to scroll horizontally to view the entire page.

This has nothing to do with the page I put up.
I only made a test page of the front page.

However, I'd like to reply anyway.

Links directly to .inc files would require the explicit permission from the
person who made the file. We had a major discussion about this recently.

Links to *pages* containing .inc files is generally OK, but people tend to
change the name of their pages and directories, so Ken often link to the
main page in order to avoid that links become dead links. Or so I think.

Since my computer problem I haven't had Netscape at all.
Which is the most common version of Netscape, and exactly where can I
download it?

Anyway, I won't change anything more at this point, because I think the real
povray.org is currently being changed, and so there is no point in making my
own test versions based on an outdated design. I will wait and see what
happens to povray.org.

Greetings,

Rune

I know, but fixing that would require an actual redesign rather than some
small adjustments, I think.

I ought to get Netscape, so I can see such problems myself...

That's a fact.

By the way there is a golfball include file at:

To which you may link directly, if you so choose.

Maybe I should change the logo on that ball... I haven't worked for that
company for over two years now.

It takes a little looking, but you can find the latest version somewhere at
http://home.netscape.com/

The latest version and the most common version may not be necessarily
inclusive.

Hi Pabs!

Even though I said I wouldn't work anymore on it now, I did anyway.

I have updated the test page, and I would appreciate it if you would test it
with the various resolutions and browsers again.

Tell me what you think!

Greetings,

Rune

I suggest you buy one of these computer magazine with cdes included,
netscape are usually included on one those.
(if they aren't games-only magazines)
It would save you a lot of downloading.
If the version included on the cd aren't the newest one, you can download a
much smaller upgrade from http://home.netscape.com
