Great!  I tried it on my problem HP website and I can get farther
but I still bomb out.  Here are two URLs that kill Mosaic when you
hit the back button.

	http://www.hp.com/cposupport/indexes1/sj5ser.html
	http://www.hp.com/cposupport/indexes1/sj5ppc.html

These both load and are viewable.  But with the second URL loaded,
hitting the back button causes the Mosaic window to disappear and
the error message box to pop up.  With table support turned off via
the Options pulldown menu, Mosaic still works fine.

I tried this from a VAXstation 4000/VLC running VMS V7.1, UCX V4.1-8,
and DECwindows/Motif 1.2-3 after compiling without error using DECC.

Why don't we VMS affictionados employ a DCL copy command instead?
Example:

$ copy/ftp/binary wvnvms.wvnet.edu::"/mosaic/test/mosaic3_0b3.zip" []

All right, all right.  It takes more letters.  But it avoids having
to crank up a web browser to employ a URL.

	Hello George,

There is a new HTMLTABLE.C in the FTP area which corrects this
problem.

I normally just throw a LYNX command in front of this type of URL.
Lynx is quite good at FTPing and starts up very fast.  If Mosaic
had had the type of development Lynx has had over the years, it
would now be state of the art.

The fix for this will be included in the next release.

Subject: Bug fixes for 3.0B3 - 8bit chars and Alta Vista forms

Hi.

I have fixed a couple of things that prevented me from using
the Alta Vista search form:
1) Eight bit chars in <OPTION> tags disappear.
   This turns out to be a isspace() problem, which should simplify
   quite a bit of tests for chars>127 if applied generally.
   I have also extended the TOUPPER() macro to 8 bits. All in htmlparse.c
2) <OPTION> tags with empty string values get sent as the NAME of the
   optin instead. Fix is in htmlwidgets.c

Modified files are at ftp://vms.concinnity.se/mosaic/030b3/libhtmlw/
