Mark,
The comments get removed at build/install time, (the original authors doing
I think). They should be present in the source.
Steve.

funny you should mention it, I was just looking at HTX with a view
to CVS/autoconfing it. The version in the most recent stardev is
V1.2-6, which includes a new Mozilla support stanza; the most recent
version I have in my (personal, local) CVS repository is V1.2-5.
The 1.2-6 version has a 'browse' script with no comments (taken from
the install dir not the original sources) - can anyone own up to
writing this? I guess it was Steve, but possibly not.
I (or someone) needs to put the comments back.
Mark
