[Freeglut-developer] Can anybody here edit HTML? (was Re: What's next?)

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

Gentlemen,

         Clive is right.  Our top priority at the moment should be 
updating the web page so that potential users out there don't think 
the last release was four and a half years ago.

         Does anybody here have a bona fide HTML editor?  If nobody 
speaks up, I'll have to go after it with Notepad or vi.  The files 
are in "freeglut/web-src".

                 - John
