See the discussions on www.rtr.com for amusement (and then look at the rest of their site, including such wonders as "Language Pack #1", which is a CD containing gcc, g++, gdb, indent, libg++, libc, libcur and libterm for the bargain price of only $275, provided under "The ReadyPak License" - http://www.rtr.com/newrtr/license.htm - although they do spare two lines and the bottom of the page to mention FSF and the GPL). Interestingly enough, Frontpage on NT is not an awful lot better. It generally supports a few more functions (although depending on how the web was authored and which version of the FP98 server extensions you use some of them still fail saying "you need to install FP98 server extensions") but it has still been regularly causing page faults in IIS when people try to publish to it. We now return you to your regularly scheduled free software :-) (seriously, http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/faq98.htm is pretty much required reading for anyone trying to cope with this mess).
