I've been paying attention.

If you want to view what the HTML file is, you need a browser. Not
everyone
has browsers (hell, not everyone is on the net, for that matter; though,
granted, they are slowly becoming minority). I only have real web-access
through work. Not from home (note: web-access and net-access are two
different
critters; if I am touched with a bit of patience, I can LYNX out onto
the
web from home - but at 2400bd it's not something i do a lot!).

And HTML is written in ascii.

Again, *if* you're doing web-stuff. And *if* you've got a browser that
deals with graphis (eg, LYNX doesn't).

I note you don't include VMS in there.	;-) ;-)   (just fyi, certain
releases
of VMS *just* got GZIP capabilities, but there are still a lot of
versions out
there w/out - unless we're *way* behind the times here at work!!)

And as far as the post Owen made earlier, I'm stuck in the same boat
with
Jeremy; I have no way of reading it, either.
