Welcome to the fourth issue of Carrier Aviation News, a regular newsletter
that actually looks like one,
(that's if you have IE3.0) bringing you the news around the Carrier Navy.
Want to contribute? then mail me David McCandless and maybe I can
publish it here.
NOTE: I'm testing pop-up windows which use activex controls, I
have no idea if they work in Netscape, although there is an
activex plug-in for it. I may do separate Netscape pages if enough
people complain, so if there are any problems with the pop-up or
you want separate Netscape compatible pages then please mail me.
