IE6 will display a bmp when the bmp is embedded in html.  However, if one
tries to open a local bmp using IE, IE will open Paint, a Windows app, to
display the picture.  The picture will not appear in the IE window.
Likewise, if Netscape tries to open a local bmp, it will ask to open it
using Windows Paint.  But Netscape, apparently, will not show a bmp
embedded in html.

My IE6 browser shows the bmp just fine.  It is a hieroglyphic cartouche,
about 34 KB.  Netscape 6.2 shows everything but the bmp.  The URL you
gave redirects to http://www.wsfa.org/capc04/ .

I have converted that bmp to a 21 KB jpg, in case you want to substitute
the jpg for the bmp.  Shall I email it you?
