Steven, Jeffrey, Larry, Carla, et al:

Attached please find 2 compressed files as follows:

1. Watcom1.zip

2. Watcom2.zip

Both archives use "index.htm" for the top level page, per Steven
Levine's suggestion. However, I did not include the use of relative font
sizes in either archive. According to my understanding (reading),
their use in web pages is now discouraged (and is being phased out) in
favor of newer font tags in style sheets. I used style sheets
extensively in my construction. Changing to relative font sizes would be
a big deal for me (I think)!

Both archives have the browser files in the 8.3 naming convention,
per Dr. Race's request. The second archive, Watcom2.zip, is for Carla to
use on the SCOUG website. It does not include the interactive C
programming tutorial that I showed at last month's meeting. That would
not be appropriate on the website because the tutorial involves the user
editing files.

Larry, please feel free to use Watcom1.zip on the SCOUG CD, rather than
the 09 April files from me.

Sorry about all the changes and updates! This is it, though, unless
Steven can show me how to incorporate relative font sizes in within
style sheets.
