Re: [-empyre-] role of programming || typescape.2

Hi Jaka,

Just a tech note. I am running OS 9.1 on a Mac and we Mac people can't get
IE 5.5 yet. M'soft is only up to Internet Explorer 5.1.6 for Mac OS 8.1 to
9.x and Internet Explorer 5.2.2 for Mac OS X.

I tried to load Typescape.2 with IE5 but no go. Any chance you might be
making your work available to us poor deprived Mac users sometime?

Cheers, Barrie
