FP97 sucks. It screws up the HTML code and more. It is a half baked
product. FP200 and later are OK. You are better off using a text editor.

If you just need a wsig HTML editor, try the free 1st Page 2000.

If you need Personal Webserver on WinXPHE, there is a non-sanctioned way
of installing IIS5 on XPHE. Do a google search for IIS on Winxp Home
Edition. You need to follow instructions very carefully.

XP Pro comes with an option for IIS but you need to install it
XP HE doe not "come" with an option to officially install IIS. But
people have found a work around.
