hmmmmm ... when I use this:

<PRE><IMG SRC="none.gif" ALT="
         ,o888b,`?88888 
       ,8888 888   ?888
       8888888P'    888
       888P'        888 
       `88   O     d888 
         `?._  _.o88888">
</PRE>

I get this in Netscape 3.0b5:

,o888b,`?88888        ,8888 888   ?888       8888888P'    888      888P' 


And this in Lynx 2.5:

         ,o888b,`?88888

       ,8888 888   ?888

       8888888P'    888

       888P'        888

       `88   O     d888

         `?._  _.o88888      


Neither is really optimal.  Extra vertical space in Lynx and no
&#10;&#13; like action in Netscape.

This is definitely a big boo-boo on CERN's part if you ask me. One would
expect at least this most basic degree of character control.
