I looked a little further. I thought it interesting that Safari could also not view the Adobe SVG thingy. Moreover, http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ shows they've dropped support for their viewer, and the most recent blurb promoting SVG relates to Illustrator CS2, when CS4 is the current version. I have CS4, but haven't learned to use it yet. Is there a future in SVG? --=20 Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
