Nope, they do the contrary here: we have Exceed under Windows NT. Not that I
ever use it though.

Well, I never had any Windows crash here, so as for stability I can say nothing
wrong against NT ;)) .

LOL. It's true that it's reason enough to use it ;))) . But doesn't it make
Windows slow?
Completely something else, back to browsers. I have found what must be the
smallest browser there is for Windows! It's normally part of TeX Converter (the
graphical front-end to (La)TeX-to-HTML programs like HeVeA, TtH, TeX4ht or
LaTeX2HTML), but the author of TeX Converter makes it available as a separate
program at http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/browser.exe. It runs only when IE is
present too (so it seems to be somewhat like Phoenix is for Mozilla) but it's
extremely fast and is only 50*kb* large!!!! Now if you find smaller for Windows
please show me, I'd be really interested in seeing that!
Christophe.
