Steve kindly emailed me a copy and all was fine, must have been IE 6.
I will have to check out FishWings. I mainly use Bernie (on PowerMac
7300)for IIGS emulation due to its ability to easily get files in and
out of a IIGS session. I might start to use my PC more if I am able to
get files in and out of image files:-). Is FishWings easy to find?
