Salut, Philippe.  I was going through my email folders and found some
unread messages from months ago; I don't know how that happened, but I'm
terribly sorry for the delay.  Are you still working on this project?
I'd be glad to resume helping you with it.

I also think Firefox would be a better browser than Netscape for your
non-IE testing.
