Table, SuperScript, and SubScript

Q: The text in the page seems to run together.

A: Some of our pages require a WWW client that supports table, superScript, and subscript format.

Netscape 2.0 beta, NCSA Mosaic 2.0 for Windows, NCSA Mosaic 2.0 for Macintosh support these features. NCSA Mosaic 2.6 for X Windows supports table and super/subscript separately, but not super/subscript inside table.

GIFs

Q: The color of our GIF files (in-line images) looks strange.

A: It may be due to the color palette. We try to use the standard 256-color palette for most of the pictures. However, some use custom palettes and those images may look strange if your computer cannot change the palette to accomodate the difference. This can also happen if the page you are looking at has multiple GIFs that use different 256-color palettes. One way to get around this is to set your computer to display more than 256 colors. It may be referred to as 15/16 bit (thousands of color), or 24 bit (millions of color) display mode.

QuickTime movies

Q: Our QuickTime movies would not play on UNIX machines.

A: Some of the QuickTime movies we created use Cinepak compression, it may not be available in your UNIX QuickTime player. Some others use odd picture sizes (not standard 160x120, 320x240), your player may not be able to handle that. Windows and Mac QuickTime players usually works fine.

MPEG movies

Q: Our MPEG movies look fussy.

A: Sorry to say this, but that is normal. All the MPEG movies are converted from the original QuickTime version instead of from the original graphics.

MailTo

Q: When you click on our e-mail address to send mail, it does not work.
