You can find it on the web (they gave it away for free) and it's simpler than Front Page. ...

The SE5561 used to be an old switch mode controller chip. Maybe someone wanted to keep a memorial for it. Or could be the trailer for the old internal four+four number scheme that many companies use in the doc center. But look on the bright side: They don't list the package size as being between zero and half an acre. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

The older Netscape versions, and Firefox both have a fairly simple HTML authoring tool built in. Its called Composer. I use one of these, or create a simple page template and a style sheet, then create individual pages from the template in Wordpad as a plain text document. -- Service to my country?
