Yes, indeed I did - thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for the links - I really didn't licensing much thought
beforehand. I've considered converting the doc to other formats but
wasn't much bothered by it on this draft.

Okay, I see your point and yes, it is kind of awkward isn't it?

I'd considered this when finishing the HTML and opted to include
categories for the next revision. Keep in mind this FAQ applies to a
7 year old instrument and it's siblings - it's not going to grow
much. I've initiated correspondence with a number of related mailing
lists and I'm hopeful to gather some additional info - PLG150-AN &
AN200 specific - which will find it's way into the FAQ.

I've only tested in four browsers and this had not been in a problem,
but I'm familiar with the symptom you describe.

Well, I DID credit the AN1x-list ;-)
