The WordPerfect links on "http://www.provn.com/main.html"
are not the same as on "http://www.provn.com/Products/products.htm".

The difference is minor but enough to make the links on the
"main" page to not function properly.

On "http://www.provn.com/main.html" :

http://www.provn.com/products/wp53.pdf
http://www.provn.com/products/wp71.pdf

On "http://www.provn.com/Products/products.htm" :

http://www.provn.com/Products/wp53.pdf
http://www.provn.com/Products/wp71.pdf

Note the uppercase "P" in the latter case...

Now, it wasn't *THAT* hard for either you or Bill to
see that, so this thread is a joke...

Finaly, the fact that noone has fixed the links on the "main" page
probably tells everything about the interest in the product...
