I was using MSIE 5.01, then upgraded to 5.5 with same results. However, Netscape 4.74 had no trouble at all. I checked the Institut Jozef Stefan pages (http://www.ijs.si/), and they were absolutely standard HTML 4.0 Transitional (i.e. basic XHTML), nothing Netscape-specific in them, nothing that MSIE couldn't handle. <Sigh> NB: Quite interesting site they have at IJS. > Someone should make it illegal to remove things from the web, i noticed an > awful lot of good data has disappeared in the last few yrs, like that 70Kword > translation dictionary on the .si i mentioned earlier.

It's free, but you have to be accepted as a legitimate researcher. As for KIC-1, www.northernlight.com brought me 103 items (search string just 'KIC-1', no frills). Google found 174. The results included http://www.kicchemicals.com/12hydroxyc18.htm (1,2 Hydroxy Stearic Acid) and http://www.kicchemicals.com/14bdo.htm (1,4-Butanediol). And no, they don't include the formulae. So much for industrial espionage. Or am I Brandariz, Gerardo Brandariz? Good luck. Or whatever it takes. Gerardo
